Movin' South - Part 2

Remember yesterday's blog of moving our bedroom south for the winter? Made pretty good sense didn't it?

The wood stove heats that room nicely so there's no going through a deep freeze to get to the bedroom. Once you turn out the lights you can lie in bed and look through the slanted windows at the stars. That's pretty nice too and you fall asleep with a smile on your face.

Suddenly it's 4:03 AM (don't you love digital clocks? - you always know the EXACT time) and the moon is suddenly shining directly in your eyes. And it's not even a full moon (can't wait for that). Reposition the pillows, roll over and drift back off to sleep. 4:24 AM. With all this tossing and turning the cat decides he's hungry and of course we forgot to fill his bowl last night which this time requires getting out of bed. (Our cat can be VERY vocal when he feels the urge.) Back to bed drifting not so quickly back to sleep. 4:56 AM. Our cat vocalizes his need to go outside - why not? The moon makes it bright enough that it looks like daybreak. Back to bed - sleep of course is out of the question at this point. Perhaps John has the right idea when it comes to afternoon naps. Can't wait for tonight when the Northern Lights are supposed to wreck havoc with everything...
