Sounds in the dark
I've been awake since 4:43 a.m. I finally got out of bed "for good" at 6:20 ish. I thought, why force myself to try any longer going back to sleep, when it was stubbornly not happening. It is blustery outside, more like a March wind than January. As I laid in bed I could hear the faint wind chime responses to the more energetic breezes (soothing), as well as an occasional clatter of a tree limb hitting either the side of the house or the roof. The dog was snoring softly...which turned into a nasal whistle for awhile, then returned to the soft snore; hubby was snoring softly as well; between him and the dog, there was a definite asynchrony to the rhythm of the breathing which was interesting, not annoying. Our ever faithful grandfather clock reminded me how long I was lying there awake, in majestic and dulcet tones ~ a sound I never tire of, though sometimes fret at how quickly time seems to be passing. I'm up now, though not refreshed. I've probably managed 6-1/2 hours of sleep, which will "catch up" with me late this morning, and I will be ready for a "power nap" or lazy snooze before 11:00...
I think I'll venture out to the porch swing to see if I can catch the shadows.. the world in black and white before ole sol shows himself and the colors start to emerge.
Good morning all.
