It’s a holiday here. We celebrate the birthday of a queen who never set foot in this country and didn’t like us very much. Great weekend to put your tomatoes in, though, or “get up to the lake.”
Ohhh it’s that beautiful cherry tree again! I absolutely adore that last panel, with Pucky in his striped pajamas alongside his faithful companion, Buzzy Mouse enjoying coffee and the view. I love how we can see the reflection of light through the glass on the windows. How skillful an artist Georgia is. ❤
Pucky, you are so right. 30 years of marriage and my husband still doesn’t understand that this morning person wants her coffee in silence shared only by a void curled up in her lap.
Morning. The sun hasn’t broken the horizon just yet, but the sky is filled with blues, purples, and warm oranges.
It’s not silent. Classical music is playing softly in the background: J. C. Bach’s Quintet in D for flute. The coffee is brewing, and the scent is drifting into the room I’m in. I am looking out the window over the computer screen at a rather twitchy squirrel sitting on the cedar fence and eating something, probably a cicada.
I’m looking forward to enjoying more of that number “silence” in the morning when & if the crews ever get done shifting dirt around! They’re digging French drains all around the building, & since my apartment is in the back, all the dirt from that huge job gets dumped literally right outside my bedroom window, starting around 7:30am…at least I’m not at the end of the building where they’re taking out some big old trees…
This brings back fond memories of mornings with PJ (RIP). Neither of us was a morning person, but most mornings when I got up, he’d already be at his desk, drinking his coffee & catching up on the news. I’d stagger into the kitchen muttering “braaaaain juuuuuuice…,” get my coffee, & retreat to my desk at the other end of the living room to read the funnies. We might not say anything to each other until almost lunch time. The companionable silence was more than worth its weight in coffee beans!
About a year ago I bought myself some nice noise-cancelling headphones. When the urban sprawl sprawls into my live I retreat to the silence of those headphones. Sometimes with no music, tv or other sounds coming through. Just to experience that total lack of noise.
What a lovely way to start the day! I spent my early morning on the daybed reading BCN and doing NYTimes puzzles on my phone while Bartholomew snuggled and snored next to me.
Just clicked on the “shop now” button below comic for the Threadless store. Looks like a good sale thru this week with some $13 tees (depending on which style, such as regular and classic) and up to 40% off other stuff. Just a heads up for ya’ll. Have a wonderful day!!!
we have a nectarine tree in the back yard which is blooming beautifully each March and… not bearing any froot this year! the other years we had about 5 to 10 nectarines all in all…. :,(… I am following all instructions for pruning nectarine trees…

The Rascals: A Beautiful Morning
It’s a beautiful morning, ah!
I think I’ll just sit right here and watch the tree,
Just drink my fresh hot coffee
No sense in getting the zoomies right now
The weather’s fine, I’ve got the time
I’ll watch the outdoors and plan my beautiful day.
…….
It’s a beautiful morning, ah!
Sitting right here inside the house, with Buzzy Mouse!
I’m gonna enjoy the view
Just gonna hang around
What I’ve found
It’s so good when the sun shines
I am here inside (here inside)
I’ll abide (here inside) ooh, ooh ah!
I love all my friends but sometimes I must try it
Watching the scene right here where it’s quiet
Seems to me that we must take a rest
It is best, it’s all blest!
ooh, ooh ooh ah!
ooh, ooh ooh ah!
ooh, ooh ooh ah!
