Sometimes, it's the little things

For the first time last night we were able to sleep with the windows open.  I know this doesn't sound like much to some, but when you have been unable to do so for an extended period of time; it becomes a luxury. Where we lived before, sleeping with the windows open was impossible.  Not because we were afraid of creatures in the night, but because trains ran through our little town like Lionel Richie, "All Night Long".  I don't hate trains.  I love them, just not when I am sleeping.  The extra special bonus about the windows being open was the rain this morning.  It was so very hard to get up and start the day today!  Here is one of the many, many cardinals we see every day.
