Summer Mornings

I love summer mornings. So peaceful and quiet. Sitting outside on the patio, drinking my coffee while the day is just getting started. Today could turn out to be one of those never ending busy, chaotic, mind numbing days later, but for now it is serene.

Sitting in the swing listening to the birds and watching them as they go about their little bird lives. Seems like we have so many different ones this year. All the way from tiny little hummingbirds, to finches, and king birds to a Great Horned Owl and a couple of MASSIVE Turkey Vultures. The Turkey Vultures are so ugly up close but in flight they are graceful and beautiful as they ride the thermals and glide in graceful circles, rarely even flapping their wings. Maybe I just never slowed down enough to notice before!

Challenges for the day will start soon, but this little bit of time in the morning is heaven.
