time: dawn
section: at this hour

the old farmers were already up.
there is dew on everything, which means the day will be fair.
no dew means clouds held the heat in, and rain may follow.
the birds started before you did.
if the spider webs are heavy with water, no rain today. the spiders know.
this is the hour to transplant seedlings. the roots settle before the heat.
sharpen your tools now. a dull blade tears what a sharp one cuts clean.
the cool air holds scent close to the ground. you can smell the soil waking.
a grey dawn after a red sunset means the fair weather is holding. trust what the sky told you last night.
