- This message from cousin Anna on facebook this a.m. regarding her son Jack's birthday today: "Happy 9th birthday to the best big brother, wonderful son, puppy lover, chicken chaser, Harry Potter reader, loving son, and kind friend that a mother could ever hope for!!! Love you, Jack, and am so blessed to be your mommy."
- Loving the time (Monday through Friday) between 5am and 6am. After the initial getting-out-of-bed resistance, there is such quiet and peace. No talking, no TV, no noise at all, except for the distant sound of the train whistle a mile away.

We've got cherry blossoms here. They're a little late arriving, but they made it. I, for one, cannot imagine what 5 a.m. looks like. Bless you and Happy Birthday, Jack. :)
Ah, the peace of early morning. It's my absolute favorite time of the day.
Bet you wanted to romp with the children.
I will be gone again on same journey.
The cherry blossoms all came out at once (so did the kleenex!) I am never awake between 5 and 6, so I'm not hearing anything ;)
I hear you on the morning bliss :) (which is how I always think of it).
And those trees are stunning - we're probably a month away before ours put on their Sunday best here :)
Ah, that blissful time of morning before I have to wake my child! My favorite part of the morning.
I love early morning.
Love the sound of a distant train whistle, anytime, day or night!
Early morning is bliss. No train whistles here - bird song and the purring of insistent cats.
I love the blossom trees - and Happy Birthday to Jack.
I envy you the pink clouds, i'm getting tired of awaiting the blossoms here- What a lucky son to have such a mother- I don't remember feeling so positive when mine were that age-
Good you have that quiet time- here will start getting alot louder all day soon as the summer population fills in. i get mine before I sleep-

All the bloominess seems to be a little late this year.
Love the 5am hour. :)
Leonora -
Me, too - we are kindred spirits, I think.
Granny Annie -
Kind of, but I was late for my walk with Laura.
Just emailed you about the journey.
Riot Kitty -
Ha! Guess not. :)

Mama Zen -
I'll bet!
FB -
Me, too.
Sage -
Me, too, and it's close enough that I can hear its rumble.
Elephant's Child -
The purring of cats is an always lovely sound to me.
Snaggle -
I loved that she posted about him like that. A neat kid.
The flowers on the trees are gorgeous! So happy everything is in bloom!

ah, early morning has always been my favourite time of day. this is the time i feel energetic.
i like to be outside for the first glow of a new day.
dear lynn, it's always a pleasure to visit your blog!
big hugs~
I know that early morning resistance all too well. last week I couldn't find my coffee cream.... found it the next morning up in the cupboard next to the coffee can, instead of in the fridge. And no -- I didn't open it for a whiff, just chucked it immediately.
xooxo
I love the early mornings too. I wake up at about 4.00am and love the silence in the house before everyone else wakes up.
