Overcast Early Summer’s Morning Coffee Muses

Ceiling fans are working this morning. No sun shining, but the temperature is already climbing thru the upper 70’s. Steel gray skies over vivid green trees blocking the horizon. Flashes of blue and red in the trees bring out thoughts of decorations hanging in Christmas trees… Come to think of it, the temperature is mindful of Christmas day.

One month from today I should be sitting on the porch above a wonderful mountain view. Cook mountain mornings, fog rising down below, sun coming up over the mountains… A cup of hot coffee, steam rising, sitting at the outdoor table, listening to the world come awake. My favorite place, my favorite way to greet the day. Let the countdown begin.

I’m taking the wives to her annual doctors visit. Then it’s shopping for a big, beautiful hunk of brisket for Sunday’s dinner. I also need wood and charcoal… potatoes, cabbage makings for slaw… wine…

Gotta get moving…
