An incredibly peaceful beginning to the weekend

Unbelievably, I am off today.  An off day on a Friday is pretty rare, as teachers like to schedule appointments and other things in order to start the weekend early.  Generally speaking, I don't mind working on Fridays, because it is Friday, and I always say that makes everything better.  However, I won't lie...I also love having a Friday off work because it is like the weekend begins even earlier!  I have a bunch of errands to run, but for right now, I am sitting here enjoying my cup of coffee and the view.  Usually I spend my mornings in the back of our house, but this morning I couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch the day begin from the front of our house.  We have a large picture window, and a comfy overstuffed chair that faces east.  It's been lovely to watch the day break, as well as watching our sweet pup and one of our cats peacefully sleep on the couch.  It is also a fabulous temp, with an overnight low in the 50's.  It is absolutely delightful, and I enjoy the possibility of needing a sweatshirt!  I have a few errands to run later, and I just plan to enjoy the day.
