Early morning in Maine

I'm up early-4am-anticipating another moving sale, some work left to do, but mostly done.
It gets light here early, on the east edge of the country. First hint of dawn actually before 4am!
I'm looking out the windows from the family room, it's foggy, trees are leafing out, dogwood starting to bloom, Japanese Lilac really green, tall, lush-blossoms will come soon, maple and horse chestnut different shades of green, flowers on the hc to come. The cottage which has been my shop is across the terrace, with its red door, white clapboards, mullioned windows in the gable end-really pretty.
I'll miss this indescribably beautiful (I've tried to describe it above, but you have to see it to really appreciate it) scene. It almost brings tears of appreciation for the beauty I've enjoyed for the last several years.
Oh well, on to the next adventure, and I'm certain, whatever it is, I'll find beauty and good in that, too. Stay tuned.
