My Favorite Time of the Day

Coffee


I am a morning person. I love it. Everything about it. During the school year, I usually get to work around 6:30am. I pretty much miss morning. So, in the summer, my very favorite luxury is coffee on my back porch in the early morning.

Insulators


I love the angle of the sun. Bright, but not.

After this picture, I pulled the dead leaves off


Everything looks so crisp and clean in the light. It fills me with energy and refreshes me, and makes me ready to embrace the day.

Smudge not quite ready to start his day


Apparently it doesn't have that effect on everyone.

I am a morning person as well! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I like to wake up early so I can eat sooner and then go exercise/get my day started.

Joy said...

Morning is my favorite time of day too, especially Saturday mornings when I don't have to be somewhere and can enjoy the quiet before my family is up. I am jealous of your screened-in porch....it IS screened, right?

Kat said...

Love your patio. And the blue insulators. I have some of those and don't know what to do with. Have had them for years.
Morning is wonderful time to reflect.

I wish i was a morning person. I feel like i would get a lot more accomplished in my day....

I am a morning-person-wanna-be! I'm up early by default, not by choice. However, since no one else in my family is a morning person, I could have some time to myself to do whatever I felt like doing! I think, perhaps, that it would be a WONDERFUL idea for my hubby to construct a back porch for me so I could be an enthusiastic morning person. Since I've already placed blame for the new cookbook at your feet, I think it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to say that the porch idea was yours, too! :-) Love your porch. It looks wonderful with those colorful glass pieces and potted plants and the white wicker furniture! I can almost hear the birds chirping outside your screened windows!

What a peaceful little spot you have there! I love quiet mornings.

I'm with Smudge, here. The only sunrises I've seen are on my way to bed! I am the person who leaves at 10PM, so I can be in Myrtle Beach at 9AM for breakfast and a nap. But I do love your porch.

Scout the cat over because I am joining her.

I have never been a morning person and don't think I ever will. I grudgingly wake up at 6:30 to make it to work. Heck half the time I am not even coherent until at least my fourth cup of coffee.

Joanne - oh goody a fellow morning lover!

Joy - Yeah, we screened in our deck, it's the best thing we've ever done.

Kat - I love them lined up on my porch, they catch the light so prettily.

C3 - but you're probably still going in the evening when I'm dragging.

Paula - it's my favorite place to sit and brose through my cookbooks, so yes, you need one too!

Tracie - another morning lover! You have a good weekend too!

Ungourmet - mornings just seem extra special to me.

Marjie - Smudge will move over and make room for you!

Jeff - but I admire you nightowls who are still the life of the party long after I've started yawning.

What a perfectly lovely place to have your coffee in the morning.

Antoinette said...

I like mornings, too! Glad you get to fully enjoy them the summer way.

Your patio looks so nice! Since I am not really a morning person, I would be tempted to nap in the chair too! ;-)

Kristin said...

My mom collects those insulators too. And since my hubby works for the electric co, she has more than she knows what to do with now!

I too am a morning person... raised by my grandparents. My Papa always said the early bird gets the worm. I still wake up very early.

I love your sitting room, it's comfortable.

Pam said...

Lover - It is nice, I really enjoy it.

Antoinette - yay, another morning lover!

Deb - Smudge will move over for you!

Kristin - you can tell her that they make nice porch decorations!

Cagrowngirl - Yay, another morning person!

I'm not a morning person, but I really enjoy spending time on my balcony with a crisp glass of wine and a good book after I get home from work in the evenings. I especially enjoy it if there's a nice big fat round full moon! I'm looking forward to my night blooming jasmine and moonflowers to start blooming!

Herbgirl said...

I wish I was a morning person but just can't make it happen! Your feline family is beautiful.Thanks for visiting my blog so I could learn about yours.

I'm a morning person too, but I bet you really have to be to get to school. Looks like your friends are enjoying the morning right along with you.

I like your electric line insulators but I have to ask - how many have the kids/cats killed?
