Good morning....here I am again, posting a little late! I had an early morning appointment to get my 6 month cholesterol shot. Back home now!!
Early this morning, Sam and I slipped outside with our coffee in hand, and to our surprise, the air had a gentle coolness to it!! After us having several weeks of heat, the morning coolness felt like a gift all on it's own. We both just settled in our chairs and let the stillness of the early morning wrap around us.
The hummingbirds have shown back up and they were busy putting on their own show. They were darting back and forth, sipping on my Turks caps flowers and the bright yellow Esperanza blooms. We both enjoyed their wings humming and it sounded like teeny tiny violins keeping rhythm with the morning. So very sweet!! Hoping they will hang around for a few more weeks before heading out on their journey.
It was one of those moments where you don't even have to have a conversation. Sam and I both just sat quietly as we soaked up the calmness of the morning. Did I say how much I loved this??? I really did!
Turks caps!!
I was so enjoying taking in all the beauty with the one I love....as we sat outside watching the world wake up. Why don't I wake up earlier every morning to enjoy nature?
I walked back inside a little later feeling lighter...no stress, no worries, no heaviness in my shoulders. I was so thankful for the beauty of all the blooms and for the dancing hummingbirds (that decided to make a return to our yard.)
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." Isaiah 26:3
May we all take a little time to pause, breathe, and notice the Blessings of the early morning hours.

Hello Friend, morning is my favorite time to take a stroll in the garden. We have hummingbirds too. I named one pip squeak. ;-) He is a feisty one, he will buzz Ernie.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ❤️ photos. Thank God 😊 🙏 for a relief from the wildfires 🔥 and intense heat 🥵 and humidity. Here in Montreal it is supposed to be like this for the entire week. It's wonderful to have more than one or two days of comfortable weather.
ReplyDeleteReading this just made me take a deep breath and breathe in God's goodness for the day too.
ReplyDeleteOur manzanita tree outside my "office" window is starting to get a few blossoms on it and I spied our first hummer this morning too. I love to watch them flit around.
I am looking forward to going to the mailbox this afternoon. I'm sure the gift will be there... I can't wait !!!

What a beautiful way to start the day! Even I can sit for hours watching birds and trees. Lovely shots! Happy Week! :)
ReplyDelete😊❤️ Love and a gazillion hugs.
ReplyDeleteSeeing God in nature is such a blessing - flowers, birds, cool breezes. A perfect way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteOh Shug, what a lovely post. I love hummingbirds, too. I never thought of their sound as teeny violins but I LOVE that thought! I am so glad you and your "forever love" had that time together today. Have a beautiful week ahead. Susan
ReplyDeleteOh so peaceful and calm...loved this. A wonderful way to start the day. Yes, our hummingbirds are still here, but I expect they will start leaving after Labor Day. that seems to be the norm for them. They are such fun to watch. I always look forward to their return.
