Who wakes up this early?

Today was Puppy day for some lucky puppy families!  Mr. Yesteryear Acres and my daughter set out this morning at 5am to do the infamous puppy delivery run. The sky was still dark and thousands of stars were twinkling in the sky as we loaded up the puppy mobile. The puppies all looked at us with tired eyes wondering why we were disturbing them from their peaceful slumber.  Who gets up this early? We looked back at the puppies with the exact same sleepy look.  My younger daughter was kind enough to accompany Mr. Yesteryear Acres as this gave them one last chance to have a long chat together.  A whole day uninterrupted with just the two of them. Days like that are precious and few. My younger daughter will be gone for 6 months right after Christmas break so this was just the day they needed for their one-on-one time. They picked out their favorite music and I packed a yummy lunch for the two of them and off they went with lots of puppy tails wagging.  They won't be back until late this evening and I have a big pot of Cream of Leek and Potato Soup simmering on the stove and a batch of homemade Pretzel Rolls ready for them when they return. Tonight all our puppies will be snuggled with their new families with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. Merry Day before Christmas Eve!
