Lemons and Lemonade

   We had a little mixup at our house this morning, having to do with time.

   It was necessary for us to be up early to get over to Brunswick to make an early appointment to have our car serviced. Unfortunately, someone thought they heard the alarm go off and got up without looking at the clock. Dressing, this party wondered out loud if we had not better hurry, but an examination of that same timepiece showed that it was only 4:45 and we did not have to leave till 7:00.

   Thinking about the best course of action to take, I thought:

   1. We could go back to bed for a couple of hours

   2. We could sit around and moan about making that mistake and paying for it with lack of rest

   3. Or we could realize that we had time before the sunrise at 6:30 to be in place for some photography, and make some lemonade out of those unintended lemons.

   Of course we did No. 3, and, while Mayre waited in the car, I went out into the darkened Village area and then out on the Pier to catch all the light before the sun came up.

   So, here is what was out there waiting for me this morning:

   A store waiting to open

   The lighthouse against a gradually lightened sky

   A shrimp boat coming after a night on the water

   Two blackbirds (one of which is having a spirited conversation), the other?

   Moments before the sunrise

   The pier area in the early light

   No regrets about that Lemonade, it was a fun time....

   And we still had time to get to the tire store, go eat breakfast, go to the drugstore, and the grocery and be back home before 10AM.

   What a Day
