super super early saturday morning
By: toni-jody Date: May 20, 2018, 3:41 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
*Having lain in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep or
even settle into reading - which was completely unusual for her!
- toni gave up as the first light of dawn appeared outside.
Tossing off the blankets she crept quietly out of bed, not
wanting to wake anyone so early, and throwing on some clothes
she padded downstairs to the kitchen, belle and nala at her side
as usual.
Heading into the kitchen, she quietly foraged in the cupboards,
grabbing fruit, cookies, and a couple of juiceboxes for herself
and some biscuits and bottled water for the pups and tossing
them into her backpack along with her kindle, notebooks and
camera, then almost as an afterthought, grabbed a towel from the
laundry room along with her lightweight raincoat, as it was
still early enough in the year for the weather to be
unpredictable! then heading back into the kitchen she wrote a
note for nanty and stuck it on the fridge door.
Nanty,
Couldn't sleep, have gone out with the dogs down by the burn, i
have my phone with me
Love
toni-jody
Quietly reading over what the note said, she figured nanty would
know enough that shed be headed for her favourite spot by the
burn, a place she often went to when feeling restless.
Satisfied everything was in order she quietly slipped out the
back door with the dogs.
Once outside, toni headed for the fence at the furthest point of
the properties boundaries, enjoying the quiet of the early
morning. It had been a long damp winter and opportunities for
being outside fewer than toni would have liked, she never did
like being cooped up inside! With all the bodies at home,
finding a quiet space to herself wasn't easy - especially when
you added in the fact her aunt and cousins were over regularly!
Reaching the wire fence that seperated their property from the
burn, toni slipped through, holding the wires apart for the pups
to slipthrough as well, and wandered a little ways along the
bank to the little place she considered "hers" She had found
the spot shortly after their move to Lochside, her natural
curiosity and love of water naturally leading her to the burn.
Of course, they had all spent time there in the summer, but for
the most part only toni came here. Reaching a bend in the
river, toni sped up slightly, knowing she was almost there, keen
for a first glimpse.
Rounding the bend, toni stopped and smiled, everything as she
remembered it. Heading for the small "cave" - little more than
a shelter formed by 2 large boulders resting against the cliff
face behind it - she dropped her backpack and went to sit on the
bank of the burn, pulling off her socks and shoes and dipping
her feet in the fridgid water as she leaned back and watched the
sunrise over the trees on the opposite bank, smiling as she
watched the pups play in the water.

When I wake up it's midmorning and I get out of bed, slightly
surprised that someone hasn't come to get me. I get dressed in a
pair of yoga pants and a long cotton blouse, brushing my hair
lightly.
Heading downstairs I start my coffee and, seeing the note from
Toni, smile as I read it. Briefly I wonder whether she's just
out for awhile or whether something is bothering her and she
might need me or one of the girls.
Taking my phone off its charger, I text her.
Good morning, Toni. I got your note. Everything okay?

*Jumps slightly as my phone goes off, having been daydreaming
staring at the sky! Quickly pulling it out my pocket iglance
down and see a text from mommy. Quickly i fire one back.

It doesn't take very long for me to get a text back and I smile
when I see that she's calling me 'Mommy'.
I love you, too, Sweetheart. And you know the rule about
swimming--you shouldn't alone. Either you can call Jazzy and ask
her to go down where you are or I can come meet you as soon as
my coffee is finished brewing.

Seeing her text I shake my head with a small chuckle and fire
back.
Not a chance, but nice try. Which will it be?

Seeing the text back I chuckle and reply,
Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes. But if you touch one toe in
that water before I get there young lady you won't like what
happens!
And with that I start to write a note to the other girls while
waiting for the coffee to finish brewing:
Girls,
I'm headed down to the burn to let Toni swim for a little bit.
There's plenty of cereal for breakfast. Feel free to come down
and meet us when you're through.
Love,
Momma
Once the coffee has finished brewing I put it in a travel mug
and grab my purse to head down there.

*Glancing down at Mommys text as my phone goes off again i
hurriedly pull my feet from where they had been dangling in the
water and head on back to the cave, quickly pulling out my
kindle and a couple cookies and settle in to wait for mommy*

It doesn't take me very long to reach the burn, and I look
around for Toni. "Okay, I'm here," I call out as I spot the cave
and go over to it. "Hey, you. You can go for a swim, now."
