I don't know if it's just my normal unbounded enthusiasm, but I think there's a touch of fall in the air this morning. Sitting outside with my morning coffee and watching the sun rise, there's a little fog over the lakes below the hill, and my thoughts fly to all the outdoor projects I can get done in the coolness of this almost fall day.
Since there's no hay to harvest because of the drought, the field needs to be shredded, and then there's the fallen oak branches to cut for firewood, and the beehives to check, and the chickens to feed and water, and the dogs to walk, and the land around the lakes and river to mow, and.....the list goes on and on.
But for now, before the day turns hot, and dusty, and dry, I'm content to sip my coffee, pet the dogs, and think about how very fortunate I am to live the country life. The work will wait, but this beautiful sunrise will be gone all too quickly!
