it's 8.57 and it's my day off.
and i've had time to go for a morning walk and put the tea kettle on. i had planned to sleep till at least 10... but a short while ago i realised i'm glad to be up.
reasons i'm glad to be up this early on my day off:
it's a beautiful day, with sunshine, white snow, singing birds, fat furry horses breathing smoke through their noses, pale blue/grey sky, smoke from the chimneys, the mountains hiding behind grey/white mist. and my sweet old dog woke me up with a step dance and a song, to go out and play in the snow :)
