Favorite time of day

[Echo]

These days my favorite time of day is early morning. It's just me, the critters, my coffee, peace and quiet with the internet.

But when I was in my younger days, not to long wed and the kids were little my favorite time of the day was at night.

The husband had went to bed earlier. The last bottle of the day was given at about 10pm, diaper changed and kid tucked in snugly, sleeping. It was then that I could have 'me' time. Everything was so quiet and still, relaxed and peaceful. I would make myself a cup of coffee, light a cigarette, sit at the kitchen table, unwind and just chill. If it was warm enough out I would sometimes sit out on the front porch and listen to the peepers. Tonight was one of those nights. Kelly is sleeping, David and girlfriend went off to her mother's for dinner then were going to the mud bog run. So for the most part it's just been me and the critters. Oh and the radio playing low in the background. I've gotten all the dishes done, stove and counters wiped off, gonna wait until the morning to clean off the table and sweep, my coffeepot is all set for the morning. And here I sit eating some mandarin orange slices just relaxing and chilling. Was out on the porch a little bit ago, it's dark of course, the temp is still warm and along with the rain earlier it feels like a sauna. And it's funny. I can hear the heatpump running for the A/C, the noise from the highway, a couple of voices talking but they are nothing to the peace and quiet outside. I know the noises are there. But it's like I don't hear them. I hear the peepers sing of life and love of rain. I just stand there, with my eyes closed, I'm in my own little pocket of the world. And I am content.

I hope all is right tonight in your own little pockets of the world. Good night my friends. Blessings

Evening times are my favorite
DH always goes to bed early and I'm a night Owl so I like the quiet evening of watching what ever I want and play on the computer. When we are at the casita i love to sit outside on the porch at Sunset and watch the bats come out at night.

Like you Echo when the kids were younger my favorite time was in the evenings. Scotty worked 2nd shift so between him coming home and the kids going to bed I had a couple of hours of "me" time. Now its early morning, Scotty getting up for work wakes me up when I am out of school for the summer. When school is back in session I get up before everyone just to have me time. I have found that I am a much nicer person if I do this. I enjoy setting here on the computer, but on nicer mornings I will sit on the porch and listen to the world wake up. Its so nice!

I've always been a morning person, the mornings are just so comforting, quiet
and no one is around. The puppers are always excited when we get up, I let them
out and can stand in the doorway to watch them sniff around the yard. The weather
is always nice in the morning and I can leave the door open to air out the place,
sit on the step and enjoy my coffee while the computer boots up. On occassion I
can watch the reservation dogs off in the distance do their snooping around too.
Most of the time its still dark when I get up but the sun comes up soon enough
and I look forward to all the new things each day holds in store for us.

I love the late night hours, after everyone else is sleeping. I can sit under the moon and relax, enjoy. I will often sit inside with no lights on a rainy night and listen to the rain fall.

Now, I admit, although never a morning person, if I get up early enough and am LEFT ALONE lol, I can enjoy mornings. I don't wake up and want company, so it's hard for me to be around other people in mornings. But here, when I have these early work mornings, I work on setting up for the kitchen. I'm sure they think I'm a snob or anti-social when I get to work, because other than saying "good morning" I really want nothing to do with them (or anyone) at that time. But slowly, as I get my work done, and I keep watch out the window to the pond, I come to life along with all the birds and ducks coming to the pond. I enjoy watching them then, when there are very few people about and they can really enjoy themselves.

I like both early a.m. and evenings,.... when it's either just coming daylight or the daylight is fading. It always seems more peaceful then. That peach colored sky,.... the "night birds"... I think they are thrushs,.... or in the a.m. the wild turkeys, walking through my yard,....

Living on a farm most of my life --------- we were usually up before sunrise--------& now that I don't have to do that any more---------I really enjoy the evenings!!!!!
Things are slowing down in the evenings & usually cools down some & I love the sunsets!!!!!
Hubby & I love to take a ride in the evenings------ & I always say, "lets go for a ride & blow the stink off"----- as that is what a great- great Aunt use to always say!!!!!!

I have to echo what jenny said DH goes to bed early and I enjoy whatever on TV and the computer then read. I started this when the kids were home and young. It was the time I could just breath with out someone wanting something. Now its a habit good or bad it's there...

Mine is mornings. I've always been a night owl, but I love the mornings. When it's cooler, & quiet. I love to watch the world wake up. I think of all the possibilities for this new day & enjoy my quiet time.

I am with Jenny and Sheila... I enjoy the time after Jerry goes to bed and I have control of the TV's "surfboard" and can play on the puter uninterrupted
