(This post is mostly Kansas related…things are ‘achangin here in Wyoming…but it’s still my favorite time of the day)
Some people have the early morning as their favorite time of day. It’s alright. I used to see the early morning when I was working outside the home. Not now. Our “mornings” start around 10am-11am.
Shocking, I know. It’s because our evenings and nights don’t end until around 11pm to Midnight.
We, the girls of the family, live on what I call the “second shift”.
Wooster is at work by 6:30am six to seven days of the week. During the busier times of the year, he doesn’t come home until 10 or 11pm. During the sprinkler season, he could be home by 10pm, but then leave again by 12:30am, then leave again for the next work day by 6am. So, to sum it up, from the months of March to late October, he doesn’t get home until 10pm or later. If the girls were on a regular 8am-8pm or a 7am-7pm schedule, they would never see him, he would never get to do things with him and he wouldn’t be an authority in their lives.
We count down the hours to when he gets home. It’s our most favorite time of the day.

He does most of the baths, the final steps on the chore chart, and plays for a few minutes and most importantly, gets them ready for bed.
The birds can have the early mornings. The sun gazers can have the evening dusk. But, the midnight hour is the most peaceful and wonderful to me.
That picture of WooWoo and Ruby just made me tear up a lil. That is a pretty awesome picture. I love y’all and miss ya. Keep my spot ready for a Wyoming road trip 🙂
Christopher! About that picture…I know! It was almost pitch black in that room. He had went in and was going to stay and talk with her for a few minutes. This picture was taken about 45 minutes later. They are too sweet…when they are sleeping. 🙂 You ALWAYS have a spot out here. Just let me know a few hours before you get here. 🙂
