Last night ~ well, really, this morning ~ I couldn't sleep. I came down and made a pot of tea in one of my favorite pots. I didn't realize it was that late ~ or that early ~ until I was settled and looked at the clock. I decided that, since I probably wouldn't be able to return to sleep, I'd go ahead and make a fire to keep me company through the wee hours. Then, looking around at the sleeping cats, I thought I'd get my camera and get some photos. As soon as they heard me getting into the camera bag they took off for upstairs! So, I took a photo of the teapot and cup instead. I've always wondered why I wake up on nights like these at exactly 3:00 a.m. Never mind the "witching hour," I heard someone say once that 3 a.m. is the hour of the demons. I think that's more appropriate; it seems like that's when my demon, also known as "worry", visits me. Hopefully, I'll sleep tonight...
Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you so much for visiting and leaving such kind words.
I love your Tea pot!
Now that is very interesting, and a little unsettling.. I had never heard that before. For the past 2 weeks every night at 3 am, right on the nose, I wake up.
Wishing you a good nights rest.
Sorry you did not get the photo of the cats, that sounds like something Jasper (my poodle)
would do.. Take off..
fondly,
Penny
Dear Victoria- I can relate. I seem to get awake at 2:30 am and cannot get back to sleep. So when I am making coffee I will be thinking of you and your tea. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, poor cats, they must have been like "oh no, I haven't even got my makeup and hair done! Why, mum!"
ReplyDeleteAlso love the hour for demons idea
