Train, Weather, Grass

The sound in the air woke me up. I glanced at the clock but my eyes could not see clearly without my glasses. I figured it must be around 6 am. What was that sound? I peeled the window blind in the bathroom to take a peek outside. It was still dark. It was the sound of a commuter train stopping at the train station. My house is not very far away from the station. It is about 2 blocks away. I went downstairs to prepare a pot of coffee. Put on my running shoes and went outside through the garage door. It was cold this morning. The cold fresh scent in the air filled my lungs. I took a deep breath and started walking toward the train station. Then I ran for 15 minutes around the neighborhood block. The grass may need some water today. I turned on the water hose and sprayed on the plants along the front of the house. One of the plants has the leaves turning brown. It needs water. I should keep a close watch on it every morning.
