As the sun was shining this morning, I decided to do what will soon become a regular part of my morning 'ritual'-I have my morning coffee out on the deck. Albeit this may be a bit premature-it just begged doing. Tho' the air is still a bit chilly the sunshine is warm and welcoming. As I sip my coffee watching a woodpecker have its breakfast of suet and the water dripping off the roof I tink how quiet and still everything is.....but also at te same time how very busy Mother Earth is as she hurries to prepare Spring's arrival. Tho' she seems very busy I feel no compulsion to jump into action!!! I sit there enjoying my coffe and realize I am very fortunate to have been able to enjoy this morning moment. However, my companions (Bing and Ferggie-our dogs) do not share my enthusiasm and are anxious to get back into the house and lay on their sofa in the sunshine...they will not resurface until it is time for their run. Even tho'my energy has not been at its maximum ,today I appreciated the sun and strength it envokes . more than I realize I am anxious to have my husband Lyle coming home today (he has been away in Saskatoon for the week attending classes for his 2nd year Millwright) The "'CREW' (our dogs) and I have had a very GOOD day as we await Lyle's return.......
