Wish I could join you...it looks wonderful :-) I love blue glass with sun shining through it and your poem fits the setting to a tee!
that looks really inviting! I'll use the image to keep from freezing to death in Maine.
Beth
I just woke up after working the night shift and your breakfast looks delish! Your blue dishes are so pretty. Would you reccommend that book?
Wonderful! I'll be right over...
How nice, Kathie. I'd join you if I could. It's a perfect setting to begin a great day!
I like your poem :o)
I would love to join you for breakfast. That looks so inviting. Your blue dishes are so pretty.
You really know how to hurt a guy from the Northeast! Looks lovely and warm!
Vern
I'll join in with the other northerners saying how nice the prospect of being able to eat a pleasant outdoor breakfast seems right now. The place setting alone looks idyllic.
Mary, Beth, Vern, Amy, Mary's View, Ocean, Sandpiper, Doug and Lynne I wish you and all my other blogging friends could join me for breakfast. Especially all of you in the northeast! I'd love to give you a break from that cold and snow! The blue glass dishes were a gift from my daughter to go with the blue glasses I bought at Reny's in Farmington, ME. Beth should know where that is!
Yes, Lynne, I would recommend that book. Rosen draws together all the aspects of birding nicely. In some parts it can be a little dry if you don't like quotes from poetry and philosophy, but his own personal observations and his evolution as a birder are highly entertaining. I have learned alot about the history of ornithology in America and the human connection to wildlife. His account of the history of and the search for the ivory-billed woodpecker is riveting (to me at least). My book pages are already all marked up with annotations and underlines.
Looks like a wonderful time, Kathie, put out another setting!!
Hi Kathie,
Like your poetry. I'll put you on my favorites list.
If you were thinking of me you would have prepared two eggs over medium with wheat toast and a side of breakfast sausage.-Very clever to come up with little poems on the spot like that.
