025: Enjoying being home

Today I took the time to do something I've not done in awhile. I just walked our property. It was a bit cloudy and nippy this morning so I bundled myself up and headed out shortly after sunrise and before the kids were up and about for the day. The birds were all a bustle getting ready for the impending rain. I sat down on a stump and just listened to them chat back and forth while breathing in the crisp fresh Wisconsin air. I knew the rain was coming but I sat out a little longer than I should have and was greeted with a slow and steady shower. I knew it was coming before it arrived as I could hear it falling through the trees between myself and the house.

Fast forward about ten minutes and my soothing light shower turned into a sudden down pour. A sprint back to the house and hot shower later I just finished my coffee before John came down stairs and asked me if I'd cooked breakfast yet. Gotta love a man who is extremely talented at his craft while still being a stereotypical guy from time to time.
