Summer mornings with the weather permitting find us enjoying our coffee on the deck. This year it has been delayed due to the chilliness of spring and lately the yellow dusty pine pollen which blankets everything outside. Now though this enjoyable time is here. It is such a treat to sit outside in the crisp morning air, hear the world wake up, and share conversation, readings, and coffee with each other. It is something we cherish. We get to know our hummingbirds as they get use to us again. To gently begin the day with such serenity is a gift.
I may have used the following quote before but it is one of my favorites I live by.

"When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace.
