This morning

It's my birthday today.  I'm sitting here in my flannel lined jeans, pajama top and I haven't put a bra on yet.  I slept in until 8:00, then it was time to get up.

This is my nephew who has new boots for my family birthday party tomorrow night.  He called me and sang "Happy birthday" with his 3 year old voice.  Swoon.

This is Diesel the Pug.  It snowed this morning and he hates getting his feet wet so I can't get him off the porch to pee.

It's an ongoing battle every year.

Only my ducks would LOVE a morning swim in 30 degrees.

Happy are they.

Hi Jo Jo.  He didn't have much to say to me this morning.  He hadn't had his coffee yet.  I'd recognize this look anywhere.  We'll talk later.

Jesse.  She was groomed yesterday.  It was time.  She looked like Bob Marley.  I asked her if she got me a present.   Sure 'nough...found her filthy stuffed duck under the covers when I made the bed.  Thhh-aanks, Jesse.

My blueberry coffee.  Created by God.  Consumed by yours truly.

Leaves, alfalfa, dirt and melted water all over my tile and rug tracked in by 3 dogs and 2 adults.  Life of a woman.
