Now it's on to some blog updating. And if I have time I'll get those pork sausage meatballs in the crock pot. I might just be turning into my mother (who gets up at 4:44 exactly, people!). I think I might be starting to understand why she coveted her morning time when we chillin's were still snug in bed...
Spent two days of my three-day weekend at the in-laws since their business is open all the time in the spring. Gave us a chance to spend a bit more time with busy Remi and me to catch up on the weed-infested garden. While Juju napped (thank heavens she still does) I weeded and was pretty much up to my eyeballs in stinging nettles and thistles. It's starting to resemble a garden again and we can actually see the real plants. I've still got lots of cleaning to do and hope to replant some more perennials that will be low-maintenance.
And took advantage of the great weather to snap some shots of Juliette (biker girl) around the greenhouse in bloom. I was astounded when I looked at the pics to see how much she resembles her papa when he was a toddler. See for yourself.
Or here:
But she is, after all, her own little person.
I'm hoping she's got a little something of me!So I've just wrestled with the cat who was scratching at the living room door trying to wake up the rest of the house. I won the battle and he's now purring in my lap and keeping his claws nicely sheathed in. 6:08. I guess that's my cue to get moving. Good morning, everybody.

5a.m. is a good time to get stuff done and to enjoy some alone time. I do cherish those times when I have a chunk of time just for me.
Thanks for sharing the photos of Juju and Remi. Brought a smile to my face.
Well, I think she is MUCH prettier than Remi, but I do see some of that same stubbornness and determination in the set of her jaw. Yes, I see YOU too!
It's wonderful to know she is getting to grow up around flowers. Her childhood memories will be full of color and natural perfumes.
Pre-dawn is such a quiet time tingling with anticipation of the new day. I find it a very reflective time--once the coffee hits the bloodstream. Okay, so I DO get up at 4:44. If you have a digital clock, the numerals all lined up look like little people waving hello to you.
Sounds like you got a lot done too!
OMG - those photos of Remi are soooo cute! (uurm, does he know you put those up?! hehe) and yes, they look very alike. Don't worry, you're in there too! I bet she'll look more and more like you as she grows (I know I've morphed into my mum!)

No, Emmy, he doesn't know. How much do I need to pay you not to tell him?! But anyway, he was a cutie pie so he shouldn't be offended.
