Lisa, I think the sun gets up a bit earlier here... I get up with my kid when he goes to school and the sun is already high up... another few weeks it will be just in time ..
wow! the bus at 7am... that's really early...
I remember in Canada it was picking up my son 8:10... better time for me..
7am is plenty early for me :)
ah... fall colors... hmm.. miss those here...
