Does anyone remember the little game I play with Mother Nature? If I get up after she does, she wins and if I wake up before the sun comes up, I win. I truly don’t think it bothers her if she loses but it just starts my day off on the wrong foot! Not really . . but I do love waking up before the sun comes up and I always smile and say “I won!”
I went back in some old blog posts and found where I talked about this little game in 2008.
As I was reading that post, I had to smile at this statement. I was taking a sunrise picture and the other roofs were in my way:
There are too many darned houses and satellite dishes interfering with my picture taking. I wish I lived on a farm and couldn’t see another house!
My wish has come true! I live on a little farm and unless I really look and only if I look out a couple of windows can I see another house. I don’t see a street. I don’t see a neighbor. I don’t see anyone else’s roof or satellite dish or tv antenna. I don’t see a security light. I think my life is real close to perfect!

Love, love, LOVE!!! I’m so glad you’re happy at “the farm!” It sure sounds like a wonderful wonderful life!
BLM 🙂

It’s sounds to me that you are perfect for farm life! Getting up before the sun is what farmers do, don’t they? I prefer it to be daylight when I get up—I’m not an early bird! And please don’t ask me questions before I’ve had my coffee!

I love to get up early too. I would love to see your sunrise pictures. We haven’t seen the sun in a few days, possibly won’t till after new yrs!
Susan says
I play that same game! With the rules reversed. =) I win if the sun doesn’t wake me up! I think your life is really close to perfect, too.

I, too, like to get up before the sun….especially in the summer. then i head to the garden before it gets hot. the house is quiet ….. just the way i like it. your life does sound pretty perfect. glad you found your piece of paradise. hope you get to stay as long as you would like.

hmmm… you said the same thing twice. I think you meant to say if the sun comes up before you get up, she wins.

Thank you! It’s fixed.

I would love to let Mother Nature win. It’s been years since I awoke after the sun came up. Even though I would love to sleep in,, my brain wakes me up every morning between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m., and once I’m awake there’s no going back to sleep. It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed, that internal alarm clock goes off every day between these times much to my dismay. As a result, I usually turn in early so I can ensure that I get enough sleep.
Judy says
I’d probably play the opposite game with the sun if I thought about it.
If she sets before I quit, I outlasted her! LOL (not a morning person here)………
Sandra Richardson says
Judy, I so enjoy reading about your life. This is my favorite blog! You do lovely quilts, not a knitter, but those socks are fabulous.
Linda Steller says
Yeah! You really did win!
