Early morning...

I love early misty mornings. I am usually up by 5:00am at the latest, even though I no longer punch a clock.

There is something to be said for the still, quiet, darkness that slowly gives way to early misty shadows before breaking to full misty dawn. Even the sounds come one by one with the first chirp of a bird that slowly grows to a full song with the accompaniment of crickets and other insects.

The pups are always here to share the moments with me. Their motivation is different as they dream of catching the birds or the squirrels that come to the feeder.

Sweet Pea almost got her wish as a sparrow flew into the bird bath just off the porch.

So what to do with this gorgeous day? Who knows what adventures it holds or the paths will follow? Only way to know, is go :)

Come on pups, let's go!

I love the start of the New Year. New slate, fresh start, everyone likes something brand new right?

I know a lot of people don't give much credence to new years resolutions, but i think reviewing where you have been and outlining some basic goals is healthy.

One of mine this year is ridding out (PA slang for sure!), minimizing and getting organized by cleaning out one drawer, cubby, cupboard or closet a day. Starting with the Christmas decoration bins. We successfully completed that one this morning!

Then I rewarded the pups and I with some fresh air. It has been down around 0 and the single digits most days but today it got to 19*. We were so happy to take advantage of the sunshine and out we went!

Loved the fresh air!
