I turned the heat on under the kettle, so I could make a cup of Swiss Miss instant cocoa.
Then I walked to the far side of the kitchen island to grab a handful of in-shell roasted peanuts. Every night Iggy and I leave some nuts on our back porch for the squirrels.
The early riser gets the nuts.
We do this too. Isn’t it a good feeling? Of course, I can’t resist sometimes setting the alarm anyway just to see who’s coming - at least until we get our first snowfall and I can feel good seeing the tracks in the snow and knowing some of our tenants in the squirrel boxes, high in the trees on our property, had a hearty breakfast.
