A Rowlett resident begins her day by choosing to rise and shine, taking in the sights and sounds of her neighborhood before it comes alive. She steps out onto her patio, surrounded by a lush garden filled with perennials and low roses, and takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Morning Reflections
As she sips her cappuccino, she ponders the passing of time and the changing light of day. She notes the birds launching their morning songs and the soft, smoky haze that paints the sky. Her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of lawn crews and the knowledge that suburbia is always encroaching on nature.
Despite this, she feels fortunate to be able to escape into the nearby nature trail, where she can walk on decomposed granite and listen to the louder birdsong. She reflects on the satisfying crunch of walking on the trail and the dim light that filters through the trees, creating tunnels of green.
