A Quiet Start To The Morning...

 

Happy Presidents Day!  I remember as a kid getting Lincoln's Birthday (Feb 12) and Washington's Birthday (Feb 22) off from school.  And, you learned something about each President when you did come back to school.  Now, it's just another "Monday off" and a reason for mattress sales.

It was a quiet start to the morning in our household.  While I was getting their breakfast ready, Murphy was sitting on the floor, watching TV.  Stella came over and sat beside him.  Nobody jumping or swatting or body slamming.  My phone (camera) was on the other side of the living room, so I couldn't get the photo.  Still, it made me smile.

After they ate, I took Murphy outside; that's part of the routine.  It was before sunrise, but the light was glowing in the southeast...


 I'd like to say it was quiet out there, but there is a townhome development being built to the east of us, about 1/4 mile away.  You hear the construction sounds while outside.  And the rooster at a nearby farm.

We walked around a bit.  Murphy wasn't ready to go back inside, but did look at Stella through the patio door...


 Chilly this morning, at 51º.  I was comfortable in a fleece jacket and a stocking cap.  A cooling trend over the next few days.

No plan for the day, other than meeting with a homeowner with questions later this afternoon.  My time on the HOA board is almost done - my last board meeting is this Thursday.  No, I won't miss it.
