I guess some people change, perhaps out of necessity (job, travel, etc.) but their instincts lure them back to the comfort of habit. If I were as constructive as you are late at night, I'd be tempted to try to alter the plan as well! :-)<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-65008059682301423642015-11-11T01:06:49.277-05:002015-11-11T01:06:49.277-05:00I am definitely a night owl!

Add to that I've figured out my body needs a good eight hours of sleep, but prefers nine, which of course I never got while gainfully employed. Now that I'm retired, it's wonderful. My husband has always been a lark, but since retiring he's amended his ways a bit, though he always gets up before me, just no longer at the ungodly hour of 5:15. Now with the time change, I am seeing more of the sunrise. Up here on the mountain with only treetops outside my window and no close neighbors, I never close the shades. Today I was awoken by the most glorious orange glow. I sat up, looked out the window, admired the sunrise, lay back down, and promptly went back to sleep! <br /><br />I, too, appreciate the Atlantic ocean, and my family always vacationed at a well-known South Carolina beach, because that's where my grandparents had retired. As a young teen and a Beatles maniac, I would stare at the ocean and think 'England is over there.' I obviously had no idea about latitude!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-86340000085895969562015-11-10T14:51:59.432-05:002015-11-10T14:51:59.432-05:00I'm wondering if you've visited Scarista b...I'm wondering if you've visited Scarista beach on the Isle of Harris. There is a charming little hotel there. We stayed many years ago when our kiddies were little. It's ravishingly beautiful. Also, speaking of Scotland, there is a sweet book series written quite a while ago called the Hebridean Quartet by Lillian Beckworth. You've probably read it already, but if not, I think you'd like it. I'm a songbird, but a slightly grumpy one who needs her coffee before flapping her wings. xHerbalgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127478318407455605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-35414764083353763912015-11-10T13:21:57.510-05:002015-11-10T13:21:57.510-05:00When I was young I was neither, but marriage has c...When I was young I was neither, but marriage has changed me. Now I am a night owl. Even so, one of my favorite poems is about dawn:<br /><br />Out of the scabbard of the night<br />By God's hand drawn,<br />Flashes His shining sword of light,<br />And lo--the dawn!<br /><br />Sometimes I wake early to see that it is so.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-39783934914704071522015-11-10T11:10:07.109-05:002015-11-10T11:10:07.109-05:00De-lurking to declare songbird status.

My husband is more night owl, although every few years he used to get inspired by reading some productive songbird's memoir or other, and he'd set his alarm for 5:30 or 6. Never lasted more than three days, before his circadian clock overruled the mechanical bedside one. <br />And I should mention that as an early riser, I'm occasionally lucky to spot our local night owl making her last rounds (Barred Owl, to be specific).<br />I do enjoy your blog.

Eagerly awaiting more about the owl perched on your finger. Have you by chance read "The Owl Who Liked Sitting On Caesar" by Martin Windrow, who shared his home (in the U.K.) for 15 years with the most delightful tawny owl he named Mumble? The book is a delight as well, a real learning experience about owls, and guaranteed to touch your heart. I hear an owl every now and then in the woods across from my front door, but have yet to see one. A big hawk cruises around now and then. But right now, everyone over here is enthralled with the sighting of wild turkeys. :-)JudyMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448320253904832677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-73622449355659049732015-11-10T04:11:01.847-05:002015-11-10T04:11:01.847-05:00I am definitely a night owl Pamela although I don&...I am definitely a night owl Pamela although I don't mind getting up early either. If I get engrossed in something then 4.00 am comes around very quickly !! I couldn't even think about going to bed before midnight !! Whenever we are out early { to catch a plane or somesuch } I can't believe how many people are out and about !!

Each has its own beauty. I am a snowbird so am in Florida at the present, however, I would love to visit the low country. I love reading about the low country and the loggerhead turtles. One of my favorite books is Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe! I can remember one time of staying up all night reading a book because I simply could not put it down. I couldn't believe it when I noticed that it was day light outside.
