Sophie and I have a good rhythm going in the morning and it has carried over into our trip to Florida.
While my husband sleeps in, we enjoy our lazy morning on the patio; me in my pjs and a cup of coffee, Sophie with her rock (she’ll tell that story at a later date).
The birds sing out good mornings, easing us into the day, giving us all the background noise we need. I read and write in the stillness and Sophie sits and guards the yard.
As the rest of the neighborhood wakes up, the birds become silent. Replaced by lawn mowers and motorcycles in the distance, who sing out their own good morning. The leaves skitter across the roof as the wind picks up, Sophie pounces her rock across the cement.
Eventually, we hear the good morning barks of the neighborhood dogs. Sophie joins in, wishing them a good day.
I love lazy mornings on a porch. In the spring and summer I love to take my coffee onto my porch. The birds singing is a great way to start any day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice morning!
Oh the quiet before the rush. There truly is nothing better. You bring to attention all of these little details, and seem to be taking in the moment. I appreciate your companion in solitude!
ReplyDeleteYour morning sounds perfect. I can't wait for summer when I can sit on the porch and watch the birds and other critters in the yard.
