The sun is getting a little sleepier each morning. I need to walk a little longer to catch the dawn. One of the positive things the drought has brought is clear skies. I've noticed the waxing and waning of the moon more this summer than most others I remember. It's a good way to mark time.
One of the experiences I'm having as I age is that clocks and even calendars move too fast. It is much more consoling to mark time by the moon getting smaller and larger and by the planets moving higher or lower in the sky.
Another opportunity that the constant clear skies provided was enough extra daylight for me to start up my can collecting habit. From time to time, for no special reason, I begin to pick up cans that folks throw on the road. It's embarrassing to Caring Kim. Then, without thought, I stop as quickly as I began. Since in Iowa they are worth 5 cents, this summer I was able to collect enough for a beverage at Wrigley Field.
If you have ever bought a beverage in Wrigley you know I collected a lot of cans.
