The neighborhood was mostly quiet during my early morning walk, even though I hit the snooze button and slept in ten minutes beyond the time I normally get up. Although the sky was brightening from gray to blue, it was still practically night. The only bird up and at ’em was a lone cardinal singing twee-twee-twee in the distance. Lots of rabbits were out for their morning silfay, but that was it. There was no other sign that the world had started to wake up yet, not even the guy who walks his dogs at around the same time I usually go for my stroll. Dawn is coming later, and everybody’s sleeping in.
