Waking up at Mom's

One of my favorite places to wake up is at my mom's house. I wake up to a gentle breeze drifting in from the window over the bed, some birds chirping in the yard, other birds hooting, and the dog walking around the yard with her tags jingling. Sometimes there's the undertone of a plane flying overhead or kids in the next yard over, but more likely the sounds are just nature.

It almost feels like a beach house in Hawaii, without the humidity.

It is a most wonderful place to wake up in. One of my favorites.
