Tea for One This Morning

I awoke at 5:30 this morning and faced a trade-off in my head. Did I keep my eyes shut a little longer or grab some precious minutes all alone in my garden before DH raced through doors, the neighbors ran noisy mowers, and city trucks lumbered down the street? I opted for a session where the only racket I heard was the songs of numerous birds greeting the dawn with melody.

Truly the good life...a muffin, tea, a book, and a fresh morning.

One of my little buddies this morning. A Carolina wren just after his bath in the bird bath.

Mexican petunias...fresh in the morning but blooms will be gone by nightfall. Tomorrow morning, more fresh blooms will appear!
