Gorgeous sunrise this morning. I hate getting up to exercise, but once I'm up and witnessing that time of morning -- the colors, the sounds, the fresh smell, the quiet, (the coffee!) --I'm always glad I did.
I also really enjoy watering in the early morning. The heat is returning to our area today and I just spent the last hour watering the pots and hanging baskets and putting fresh water in the birdbaths and refilling the fountains. I love getting out in the yard before work and touching base with the plants, seeing how they've grown, taking in and caring for nature before my busy work day begins. It's a great way to start the day!
I have a bumper crop of lemon cucumbers. I made a big batch of cucumber salad ("refrigerator pickles") but I'm the only one in the family who eats that, so I am taking a bowl of lemon cucumbers in to work today. Garden offerings get snatched up with enthusiasm. People really appreciate it and I enjoy sharing my bounty.
