Upon awakening

Each morning when I awake, I have the happy ability to see the sky behind me by accident.  We installed an electric fireplace, which has a very reflective face. So I see the sky and a tree from bed, even though the window is behind me.  Cool!

Better, though, is the gift Dolan gave me for Christmas. He actually commissioned a local artist to create a work with bear grass and me in mind.   This is the result, and I see it from bed also.   Funnily, I saw it immediately by the tree, and thought Paul bought it for Dolan.  I actually said to Dolan that he wasn't very observant about his gifts, and he said, "No, Mom, you aren't observant.  The art is your present from me!"
