Good morning! Have you recovered from this past week? I hope so, because if you turn around, there's a new one sneaking up on you. It was a bit strange having the 4th smack dab in the middle, wasn't it. I know a lot of folks wavered between taking of...

Good morning! Have you ever seen chickens pant? My poor birds have been doing a lot of it this week. Of course, if I were covered in feathers and stuck outside in 100+ heat, I probably would too. Since it's already 83 degrees out, how about if we tak...

Ah, it's good to be back. I missed doing this with you last week. I like the fact that our Sunday chats have become an enjoyable part of my weekly routine. Wake up, get coffee, sit at the table and chat with friends. It's a good thing. So, I hope you...

Good morning, friends. Pardon the heavy, puffy eyes, but yesterday was a long day (more on that later), the night's sleep didn't go well and Dudette was up early. Ever have one? It's going to be one of those mornings when multiple cups of coffee are...

Good morning! I hope your Sunday starts off as gloriously as mine is. It's all of 53 degrees right now and the sun is just starting to stream through the trees by the lake. It's gorgeous. So, we're going to grab our cups and head to the deck, if that...

Good morning! Happy Memorial Day weekend! We're hunkered down at home, not being the types that care for getting on the road with the rest of the holiday masses, even though my in-laws live at the beach and we'd have a free place to stay. So, I'm in...

Good morning! I hope you slept well last night and had a chance to wake up a bit before pouring a cup and joining me. How do you wake up? People are so different that way. Hubby is the type that should climb out of bed immediately after the alarm goe...

Happy Mothers' Day to every one! What kind of weather do you have for this Hallmark-inspired day? Ours will be perfect; sunny, 70's.  I think my bluebirds are flitting around more than usual and it makes me wonder if there are little ones gettin...

Good morning! Wipe the sleep from your eyes, grab your cup, c'mon over and sit with me for a while. It's a bit chilly to be out of the deck, but there's plenty of room around the kitchen table. We can chat about anything that comes to mind; like yeas...

I love the fact that I can see a sunrise without having to change my alarm (and get up earlier) in order to do so. One of my pet peeves is having to hold that little minute button down and wait for the numbers to scroll around on my clock. Are you aw...

Happy Easter my friends. While I am still drinking my coffee, this is not going to be a morning for sitting with you around the table and discussing life. Instead, there will be a sunrise service at the beach to attend, eggs to hide for Dudette to se...

If I had planned ahead, I'd try and trick you with some kind of April Fool's thing. 'When I was young,' I used to be pretty good at pranks. But time has eroded those abilities; that and not wanting to have the same done in return. The older I get, th...

The whole family was rudely awakened this morning by one of those house-shaking thunder claps. It was awesome. Dudette wasn't of the same opinion, so after a good amount of cuddling and comforting, we're up on the move. The weather here has been quit...

Good morning. The sun can't muscle its way through the heavy cloud cover we have, but the birds are more than making up for its lack. One of my most favorite things about spring is being able to open all the windows.   I love hearing life outsid...

I'm torn as I sit here bleary-eyed. A part of me loves this spring-forward time change because I have a Dudette who rises when the sun does. Now she's been foiled by an hour. On the other hand, it means I'm getting up an hour earlier than my body say...

Good morning, sleepyheads! This is your last Sunday of being able to watch the sun peeking above the horizon around 7am, you know, so I hope you took advantage of it. Next week, we spring forward. I'm going to do things  a little different today...
