Coffee's ready...

[River Lizard]

I went to bed last night at 10:30 pm, which is probably the lastest I'll hit the sack. Usually I try to get to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 pm but that doesn't always happen.

Last week I woke up at 2:00 am and had a cup of coffee then decided to go back to bed for 2 hours. I can drink coffee and turn around and hit the sack if I decide I need some sleep.

Just wish I lived on a farm far enough away from neighbors that I could do some project work outside right now but I'd be really POing my neighbors here if I tried that!

I just really like early mornings over evenings, guess that's because I've always enjoyed getting up early to go fishing when I was a kid.

I was the same way in Boy Scouts....first one up, hours before the rest would wake up. I'd start the camp fire and then go explore while they all slept, missing out on the best time of the day at dawn.

I've always been partial to mornings myself. Hard to beat watching the sun come up and drinking your coffee while listening to everything waking up.

Instead of coffee any one got cocoa? Please no water from ya'lls cooler, faucets fine

I like mornings too, but I'm seeing this one from the wrong end! Soon as the sun is up I'll sleep.

Morning is overrated from the it's still night end.

Oooh, cocoa sounds good! Z., you want marshmallows?

Pretty comfortable here. Current temp is 54.

Hi there!

It was certainly colder here last night than usual -- a definite change is on the way. Daytimes are still OK, with sunshine & warmth, but I think I'll have to break out the floating fleece to cover some of my more delicate plants or bring them inside.

Uh oh, Hattie, I saw you and realized I haven't been in the Easy Garden in weeks!

Are you in the area expected to get the remnants of hurricane Bill?

Morning all!

Sounds like a few folks are already awake and at it.

I'm just starting on my first cup...and I have a major headache this morning. What a foul way to start out what's supposed to be a gorgeous day. They're saying this is one of our last warm day for the summer. Supposed to get pretty chilly by the end of the week

. September is upon us and winter, it seems, will be arriving even earlier this year.

I'm off to check the hatcher. I've got chicks running out my ears! Anybody need any?

I've got white Silkies, blue Silkies, splash Silkies, black Silkies, bantam Colombian Cochins, Welsummers, Chantecler, bantam Mottled Cochins, Jersey Giant, Olive Eggers AND Crele Polish! I've completely lost my mind, haven't I?

I've got 3 brooders in my office with I don't know how many chicks, all under the age of 2 weeks.

Somebody help me!
