One small but non-trivial change in moving to the High Desert in general and to this house in particular is our morning wakeup routine. Our bedroom windows face east and we’ve gotten into the habit of leaving the plantation shutters open, so the Sun is shining in about 6:00 AM.
The iPhone can’t even come close to recording the pink and orange hues that greeted me this morning. Imagine the saturation and warmth turned up to 11! The Sun was still just below the horizon, but the sky made it look like we were inside of a ginormous neon tube. With the shutters, pergola, bird feeders, and high-tension power line towers in the distance all silhouetted against the glow, it was fantastic.
It makes it tough to sleep in, but we’re adjusting – and views like this make it worth it.
