OK everybody, true to my word I’m going to do a POST on the blog today instead of my every-morning pic and quote on facebook. I’m hoping the facebookers will follow me here and respond on the blog. I really want to open an active dialog here. So please respond on this post as you would on the facebook page (and for those of you who want to share the post on FB, just “like” it on the blog and you’ll be given the opportunity to share it). In addition to commenting on the post, I’m hoping you will also communicate with me in the “Contact” area of the blog, sending your questions and thoughts.
But for now, welcome to my morning.
It was a little nippy because I got up well before the sun, so I made a fire and everybody gathered:
Kim came over and we had a cup of coffee before venturing out for a walk. Once the sun was offering a little light we headed out:
The acequia that runs across my property was babbling like a little brook in the early morning light:
And then there was the sun rising above the mountain and painting the sky red:
Walking back to the house we were facing the valley and the sun was sending its light over there as well:
We decided to have a big breakfast this Saturday morning–steak…
… and eggs:
By the time we sat down to breakfast the sun was fully up and streaming into the house:
This is my world. Please write and tell me about yours. Those stories or thoughts or questions that resonate with me will be published. I’ll email you if I’m publishing something of yours and you can send me some photos (if you choose to do that).
Now for the daily quote:
“It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, and I know of no substitute for the force and beauty of it’s process.” Henry James
Love to you all,
Jeane
Your furkids are so cute! I’m inspired to take a walk myself this morning.
Glad to hear it Nancy (and I’m happy to see you here). And, yes, my furkids are cute, aren’t they?
Sounds like my kind of morning. I like to take an apple along to munch as I walk. In season, walking where there are blackberries or huckleberries or salmonberries to pick and eat as you go is probably the best of all.
I remember doing that when I lived in the NW. There are no wild berries here, at least where I live.
Your dogs have the BEST life!!!
They tell me that every day with plenty of happy tail wags. 🙂
What an amazing breakfast! 🙂 My mouth is watering.
It was truly delicious. Wish you’d been here to share it.
Steak and eggs, yum! made my mouth water! We just got home last night from our mini-vacation in the Lancaster,PA area. Had a really good time…no tv, or internet. Stayed in a nice B&B called Bella Vista. Had a wonderful time. Missed my morning visits with you! Glad to be home.
Welcome home Linda and it’s so nice to have been missed 🙂
I am curious. Is there a way to post your blog to facebook each morning instead of updating both? I check facebook everyday but do not check my favorite blogs each day. I wish I had time. But if you posted your blog each day I could link to it from there. Just a thought. I know sometimes you do post tuem and I enjoy them when you do and often stick around awhile checking others out.
Thanks for the question Kristina. I do post a link to the blog post on FB every day that there is a post, so look carefully for them on the FB page. Sometimes FB doesn’t pick up the photo and they’re harder to see. I wasn’t posting on the weekends for awhile because I’ve been ill, but should be back with those regularly now. You can also sign up to get the blog post in your email every day that I post something. There’s a sign up box on trhe blog. Thanks for your interest.
In addition to wanting to make breakfast right this minute, I just have to say that the photo of the morning awakening where the bright blue sky is on the horizon and then the pinks rise from that is simply amazing. My eyes see shimmer in the colors! I can feel the fire, too as I recall how well your stove works! With all that is going on in your life, do you still have time to paint? Greetings to all two and four-legged creatures Jeane!
No, unfortunately, I’ve been too sick to paint. For the 1st 4 weeks of this thing I pretty much slept around the clock. I’m not as tired now but I still don’t have the pain managed. So keeping up with the blog is all I have time and energy for.
Jeane, a beautiful breakfast and friendship , and a beautiful place with great light!! I love it. My husband and I are quite hmmmm… loud and crazy at times and our best time together is when we do breakfast out at a restaurant. I will have to show you a photo of the small restaurant we enjoy the most – but – this looks glorious! and when My hunband comes back from helping to clear fallen trees in new York from Hurricane Sandy I will show him this blog . It would be sooo pleasant to share breakfast like this. Thanks soooo much!! fun to see your views( scenery and home) and also views( thoughts):). struck me funny how I was thinking both. :)Hope you have your pain under control now.
Thank you so much for sharing YOUR breakfast delights with me. I’ll look forward to a picture of that restaurant once your husband returns.
Sadly I’m still dealing with shingles pain and am SO looking forward to being pain free.
