This morning

This morning I awoke around dawn to walk the dogs. It is a time when all is quiet and new. As I tried to move along, hampered by their frequent stops to smell and taste the environment, I enjoyed the clear skies and even spotted the silhouette of Mt Baker in the distance. It is the first time I have seen it in the morning. Fog or clouds usually prevent the sighting. The girls are done so we head back to the trailer. Its time for breakfast for them, one of their favorite times. Then back to bed for a nap.

I thought that going back to bed might not be a bad idea for me too. I glance at my bed. There’s someone in it! I’m sure of it! Wow! I quickly disrobe and slip in. What do I do next? As I lay there waiting for my breath to slow down, I slowly slide closer to the sleeping form. I snuggle up to her. She wraps an arm across me. Soon we are entangled, warm and close. It is a good thing. As I lay there, it seems that this woman is familiar. Her feel, her smell is something I remember. Then it comes to me. I have slept with this woman before! She may have even bore a couple of my children!

I fall asleep with a smile on my face
