  Observations in early fall This evening I watched the sun set over the Olympic Mountains. It was so beautiful. When the sun had finally gone down, there was an awesome star, I believe it was Venus, but it shone so large and so brightly it was unbelievable. There were a few small cigar shaped clouds that hung in the sky that were so illuminated by the setting sun that they looked like gold disks floating above the mountains. It was a really beautiful evening here. The sun has been out all day and felt so warm, no winds that whipped up from the shore, just shimmering, glimmering water and beautiful blue skies.

I've gotten into the habit of late to wake at 5am and after grabbing my much needed espresso I head to the deck where I am alone with cigarettes and coffee. A very good time of the day when the world seems asleep. I can look out over the water to where Port Ludlow is and see lights coming on in the homes, the tiny lights of cars that are starting to travel the road there. The trees are turning autumn colors the Japanese maples already in full red regalia. I love to see the multicolored leaves scattered through the streets and on the sidewalks.

Where is this post going? No where really, just making observations.

It all sounds lovely, and I'm glad you've found a way to make some quiet time just for you!
