windows

I love mornings. I always have. This morning is no different. Olive got us up around 5:30. She is sleeping with me every night now. I woke up to find her sleeping on one of my wonderful down pillows. Not quite sure how I feel about this, but it is what it is.

I have changed bedrooms for the summer. I am sleeping in the front bedroom that has two windows, one over the head of the bed and one at the side of the bed. It creates a wonderful cross breeze. What I had not planned for was Olive wanting to sit and sniff out the window at the head of the bed to see what critters might be roaming through the night. This activity can happen at any time. Also this activity can be sitting on my head, sitting on the bed, or sitting on one of my wonderful down pillows. Again, it is what it is. I have started going to bed with the window closed now and only opening it should I get warm through the night. Most of you are probably thinking why don't I just discipline this silly dog...Yes - this would be the wise and smart thing to do...

This morning I lay in bed and watched the hummers. They are so fun to watch. It was in the 40's. Pretty cool for most folks. The hummers would sneak up to the feeders and park for a while, filling their tummies with the sweet nectar. They are much nicer to each other in the mornings, no chasing, no nastiness. Their colors are so vibrant. It is the only time that they seem peaceful.

Olive is back asleep. I am headed to get tools to lay my floor in the shed. Yes the shed still goes on and on. The chickens are growing and so fun. The last thing for the shed is the floor. I am hoping to put it in myself today and tomorrow. It has been quite the hiatus for me!
