Daybreak

My black lab, Cada,

has an internal clock.

Cada (short for Cicada) and Hallie

Whether she is anticipating

breakfast, lunch, or dinner 

she comes to you 

to let you know

"it's time."

(And she is usually within five minutes
of the scheduled feeding time.... remarkable.)

Here she is whimpering in the kitchen ....
Mom,  it's lunchtime..... helloooo? Are you listening? 

When she was just a pup,

she would go to the window

at 3:10 every day

knowing the kids would

be walking down the road

from the bus stop.

She just knew.

She has to go 

"out" 

to do her business
and sniff all the scents in the yard,
maybe bark once or twice 
to make her presence known
every morning at daybreak.

She runs the entire perimeter of the yard ---
knowing exactly where her 
Invisible Fence boundaries are, 
even though she no longer wears the collar.

No sleeping in

uninterrupted here...

... not if Cada is around.

(Tiny bladder)

:)

Anyway, these pics were taken

 one morning this past week

when I came down to let her out.

The pink/orange sky played so nicely

against the winter tree limbs

and my neighbor's house 

through the trees.

Still not a real snowfall 

here to speak of

but I am not complaining!

(January is almost over.)

Shhhhhh.

Don't tell Mother Nature!

This actress played Mother Nature
in the Chiffon Margarine ads in the 1970's ...
does her image pop in your head when
you hear "Mother Nature" too?  :)

Don't forget ...

Get your

favorite containers

(vases, urns, crocks, vases, boxes, jars,

ironstone pitchers, buckets, etc. etc. etc.) 

photographed and ready to share

at the

 Favorites on the First

February Linky Party!

Really hope 
to see 
you
 there.
