How lucky are we?
It rained overnight. The slightly open bedroom window allows for just enough sound volume to not unsettle the dog. The sounds of rain make for extra coziness in that early morning darkness when the covers feel softest and warm enough to make you already long for next night’s sleep.
We wake up with darkness still clinging, and that’s just right for a cup of coffee and reading. The pup settles on her blanket on the couch for a belly-up snooze. Her soft breathing reminds me of the boys being little and abandoning themselves to deep peaceful sleeps, knowing they are safe and loved.
