Early bird gets the sunrise

I'm not a "morning person." I think anyone who has ever lived with me can agree with that. I set my alarm half an hour early ON PURPOSE so I can hit snooze a couple of times. And by a couple of times, of-course I mean an hour. I need about 10 minutes and a hot shower and then I'm ready to go. But not before then. And definitely not before 6am. Or maybe 6:30.

This time of year doesn't help me out either. The clock and the sun are playing this evil game on me where the clock says 6:30 but the sun just isn't quite ready yet. It's still dark at 7am! You shouldn't get up before the sun, that is simply crazy talk.

However, getting up before the sun does have its perks. This was the sunrise from our deck on Tuesday morning.
