Hello everyone... it is 4:30 a.m. and time to wake up... a beautiful morning is just about to start

I love the early mornings, and especially summer early mornings. My honeysuckle is blooming, so everytime I step out the door on to the deck I can smell the lovely scent of the 4 honeysuckle vines... last year I only had 2 good sized vines, but now I have 4 of them.... if you dig a hole and put in some potting mixture and bury the end of a vine ( Read more... )

its way too early to be up...lol...but here we are....

not that early ... if the birds are awake and singing it is time to get up ... LOL kat69m June 30 2003, 06:00:27 UTC

I enjoy the early mornings, birds sound so happy first thing in the morning... and I was watching birds hopping around the yard today hunting the wildstrawberries that are getting ripe now.... so I have a mingling of scents of honeysuckle, catnip and wild strawberries ... mmmm ... Mother Nature's own special perfume...

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids in a row.

Thank you .. that is the poem about Mary and her garden I was trying to remember kat69m June 30 2003, 05:55:30 UTC

I don't have silver bells but I do that Lily of the Valley that has flowers shaped like white bells....
hmmm.. and as to shells... Petoskey stones mixed in with the rocks I have around the flowers have shells in them....

And as to maids.... I have " old maids tears " it will have very pretty purple flowers on it when it blooms... and Bleeding heart will have some pink flowers..... looking forward to those blooming ...
Robins are enjoying a taste of summer, I see them hopping around hunting the wild strawberries that are getting ripe now ...

Thank you ... the wild strawberries are getting ripe so you have a mingling of scents of honeysuckle, catnip and wild strawberries that the robins and a few other birds are hunting this wonderful summer morning.....

Wild buttercup and daisies are springing up all over too ....
Soon a few Blackeye Susans should make an appearance ...

Sounds beautiful!!!

You have a WONDERFUL day too!!!

:)

Thank you.. I hope you are enjoying summer too... kat69m June 30 2003, 06:06:27 UTC

the birdies were chewing me out for wandering around watering flowers because they want to hunt wild strawberries that are getting ripe now and eat the sunflowers I just put out in the birdfeeders...

Dang... some of those birds can be very insistant ... I wonder if I really want to know what they are saying... though it would be interesting to have a bird language translator so you could understand what all the sounds mean ...... unless they are swearing a blue streak... then I might have to sprinkle some soap around the yard for them to wash their beaks out with... LOL....

how about sleeping late for a change...it will still all be there

sleeping late.. then I would miss half the day... the best part of the day... the early morning.... kat69m June 30 2003, 06:10:04 UTC

I know the flowers and birds would be there later but I would feel like I missed half the day, and I would miss the sunrise and the glistening of dew on the flowers and honeysuckle vine... and have the scents of honeysuckle, mixed with catnip and wild strawberries that are getting ripe .... the morning perfume of Mother Nature is different than the late afternoon ... a more delicate scent than then the sun-heated scents of late afternoon....

But then you would get to see the moon, rising amongst the cilvery clouds, moths soaring and dipping like ghostly wraiths in the night, fireflies lighting the way for elven folk, and thousands upon thousands of stars in the night, etc.

I get to see the Moon, the moths, fireflies too.... I usually don't go to sleep before 11:30 p.m. or so....

but, in the early morning hours I can see both the sun and the moon... the moon to the West and the Sun coming up in the East.... the best of both worlds.... Twilight and the dawning of a brand new day ... or Night person and Morning person ... LOL

A couple of nights ago the fireflies were playing hide and seek around the two maple trees that I planted some violets under... I think they were sipping the water I had just sprinkled on the violets....
