Sunlit Leaves

Dear Diary,

After a night of torrential rains, which we really needed, it is good to see the sun this morning. Stepping out onto the patio, I was caught by how the sunlight illuminated the leaves and the soft fuzz on the stems with a gentle glow.

I was reading somewhere recently that scientists have determined that early Man, I mean our cave dwelling ancestors, seemed to deliberately spend a great deal of time in the sun, drawn to the warmth. They called it Man's first "addiction". I can really relate to this.

As a baby, my Grandmother would put me on a blanket in a patch of sun and I would roll over to stay in it...even venturing off the blanket to remain "sunlit". As much as I know one must stay out of the sun for health reasons I still need my daily 'charge'.

Let the light touch you...(but wear your sunscreen!)
