Winter mornings on the northern prairies are dark and chilly, with the sun rising around 9am and the temperatures averaging between -9C (16F) and -19C (-2F). After the morning rush of breakfast, lunches and the skates and hockey stick scramble I’m delighted to look out my kitchen window to the south-east and watch the sun slowly makes its glorious emergence. I am awed every morning with God’s splendid flamboyant demonstration; this time deepest royal blue against lacy black trees, next time florescent magenta and fuchsia swirled with charcoals and blacks, and of course the wintry frost-whitened look of ‘rose quartz’ and ‘serenity’ (pantone’s colours of the year 2016) depict the perfect wintry prairie sunrise. Every morning I’m awed with this colourful caress from my omnipotent God. I delight in colour.

I love my east kitchen window! I think all kitchens should face that direction:)
ReplyDeleteI miss the prairie sunrises. Going with your title, reading or remembering a Bible verse cheers me, and the dog wanting to say good-morning (petting and cuddling with his paw on my foot) makes me cheerful, too!
ReplyDeleteThe last few weeks when hauling school children in the morning we have watched some incredible sunrises!! It somehow just gives a boost for the day to watch the sky come alive with the majestic beauty and color of the sunrise!!
ReplyDeleteI love sunrises!! And I loved your description of a prairie sunrise... my kitchen window also faces east!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you the cold mornings at all, but the beauty has to be breathtaking! I wish I could see it with you...
