coffee

i don't use an alarm. i figure with my random work schedule, that when my body wants to sleep, i should let it. it is always a delight when i wake early, just as the sun has come up. it is my favorite time of day and i miss it. i walk around the yard looking at my garden, my newly planted flowers and shrubs, and listen to the birds. i've been taking pictures again, much to my amusement.

it has been such fun to see these three chatterboxes hatch and outgrow their nest, as their dutiful parents bring worm after worm

and now there are two...

planting 

 

spring

the critters and I are welcoming warmer weather here at the 'sanctuary'. i have been bush-whacking, planting, and generally sprucing things up. refuse, lots of refuse. there seems to be endless plant debris and shrubberous flotsam and jetsam.
