Quiet Mostly Cloudy Monday Morning Coffee Muses

It’s quiet on this Monday morning. Almost no traffic sounds, no people sounds, even the birdsong is subdued. Sunshine breaks through the clouds only to be hidden once again. The temperature is in the low 70’s, and as long as the sun is covered it’s cool under the ceiling fans. Blue jays still visit their spot under the cedar. The bluebirds calling in the distance still make me smile. The cardinals clear ringing call still cuts thru all others from multiple sides of the yard.

And… as you can see, green predominates the landscape. The multitude of different shades and hues is amazing. The layers of light and shadow, new green and old, even the pecans trees are turning green.

Last night I discovered the movie Sustainable on Netflix. A really good documentary. Makes me wish I lived in central Illinois… If you have a subscription to Netflix and sustainable agricultural is in any way on your radar, do yourself a favor and check it out.
