Monday Morning Coffee

Good morning. Ok, I'm a tea drinker, so there's hot water, too. Thanks Giving was a wonderful success, and the kids are safely back home/at school. The dogs had been indoors a lot this weekend, playing with the kids and such. Even sleeping in the livingroom (usually they sleep in the laundry)! They were definately a little indignant when I put them out this morning - but hey, it is a warm 31*F this morning, so they can't be complaining too much :-) The splattering of rain didn't even penetrate an inch into the sand Saturday, but it did make a crunchy crust as it blew through. I love mornings like this - still, quiet, crispy clean smelling (ok, little wiff from the horse next door, but it's a warm, cozy smell) - just the crunch of my rubber boots on the sand as I bring steaming water out to the dog pen. A totally awesome way to start the day. May the trials of the past fall away from you and may you enjoy many blessings for you and yours for a wonderful week. Happy Monday!
