The Unsung Rewards Of Good Parenting

If you can't stop encourage your cats to wake you up as early as they choose ( as soon as the birds start chirping), even on your precious day off, you might view the day in a new way.

From above:

You can keep an eye on the birds and the neighborhood cats who clearly have better owners who let them out earlier.

Where you harbor the illusion that no one can see you because you are ( almost) hidden by the climbing hydrangea. The possibilities are mind boggling.

 And the flowers are illuminated.

Or sitting at your computer, downloading pictures, you might realize what beautiful shadows play on the wall at 7:00 am, when you are usually in the shower.

And all is forgiven. Who knew this moment existed in time?

Lucy isn't happy.  Confusion reigns.

You go to the kitchen and ice yourself another latte.

Maybe later there will be a nap?
