I woke up at 3:30, then again at 4. I went to bed so darn early, there was no going back to sleep, so I thought "hey, wonder if mom would be interested in an early morning ride?" I got up, and took about 4 steps toward the bathroom when the rain started. Oh well. I knew they were calling for it.
I made some coffee and realized that the cats were closed in the back porch. Kevin fell asleep on the couch, so when he woke in the middle of the night, he saw that door open, and closed it for me. Probably muttering something about me being simple in the head. So I open the door at 4:20, muttering something about him being simple in the head. ROFL
The cats are loving life. It's not going to be in the 90's today, so we opened the windows and turned off the a/c last night. They go from window to window, checking for the best view/breeze. Who knows what they're checking for, but they're happy.
I sat out there, on the back porch, drinking my coffee in the quiet of pre-dawn. Finally, about 5, the birds started waking up. Until then, the only sound was the bells on the cat's collars, and the light rain falling. It's weird to be only half awake, and still feel so at peace.
Today, mom and I will do a shopping trip. Head out for a week's worth of groceries. I'll also hope that, sometime this weekend, it dries out enough to mow. Kevin and I have a hard time getting motivated to do yard work after working all day, but if we have to, I guess we will.
Tonight is the crawdad festival (or something like that) at the city market. We are supposed to go check it out with my Aunt and her husband. Wonder if it'll be raining this evening? I'm all about live music and fun, but not in the rain. The older I get, the more I become a creature of comfort. Plus, if we go, I'm gonna need a nap first! LOL Yup, I'm old.

I hope no cats are pooping under Monica's bed now.
Gee mom, thanks for bringing THAT up! LOL No, they are settled in and like it here now, so no rebellion. Heck, they were locked out on the porch for a few hours, and didn't do it back there either.
Your morning sounded wonderful, enjoying the coffee on the porch. Even though you didn't get to ride, that sounds peaceful in itself.

LOL at your mom's comment! Do you let your cats outside? No litter box here. Course that means twice a year I have to pick up little kitten poop.
YOU're old?? Girlfriend -- wait until you get to 39! The feeling of mortality really sets in then. I have my AC on all the time now. Back in the Spring, I'd open up all the windows and my cats loved it. They watch for rabbits, birds, insects, blowing leaves, anything --- it's like Feline Cinemax for them.
