Outdoor Breakfast

There's something about eating breakfast on the patio that gets the day off to a terrific start.

The splashing of milk into a cereal bowl accompanied by the gurgling of the waterfall in the fish pond is truly a zen moment.

The trilling and chirping of birds hopping through the grass in search of their morning meal is the perfect counterpoint to the snap, crackle, and pop of my own breakfast.

Sunlight alternately brightening and dimming to the passing of puffy clouds suggests the world is joining me in the joys of a leisurely start to the day. Soon the sun will rise high enough to get to the business of nurturing plants as I will get to the day's chores. But for the moment, pondering the day is sufficient.
