Note to me: Wake up early. Full Moon. April 16. 2020.
This is a rare day for me to get up early just to witness the full moon high up. Usually, the moon rises from the east and very low on the ground at night. With my balcony facing west, I get a good view.
Most days, I do nothing but watch the stillness of the morning. Breathing the fresh air, looking at the full moon waning as the dawn breaks, listening to the silence.
The sight of the garden is enough for me to brighten my day all year round. The poem I posted here is a reminder to plant my own garden, decorate my soul.
Again, from my balcony, there is plenty to amuse myself, especially the birds. Crows. Starlings. Finches. Woodpeckers. Robins. Seagulls. Sparrows. Hummingbirds. We feed them. Currently, the crow is busy building a nest on the holly tree. Crows are the least of my favourite because the smaller birds disappeared since they started nesting. And that’s ok. It’s only during the spring.
Life is short without coffee drinking from my precious cup. The cup’s original writing is, “Fortunately, there’s still sex.” I have to change that now.
Thinking of sex, one has to be mindful of sexually transmitted diseases. AIDS was the number one killer then, now it’s COVID, and you don’t even have to have sex!
So, the trending word now is CATS.
Our local SPCA is busy providing cats and dogs as companions for all those lonely people during this shelter in place.
Thank God, I have cats. I’m alone but not lonely.
And here they are, all over me, waking me up to feed them breakfast. The time is past 9 a.m.
I had a wine glass: It’s not drinking alone if the cat is at home. Sadly, husband broke it while drying dishes. He replaced it with a glass with a cat etched on it. Yup. Me and my cats (and husband). I am never alone. PS: 9am for breakfast??!! My cats wake me up at 6.
Olala … wine glass, how classy. Unfortunately, I a have this sleeping illness lately. That’s ok. I will wake up again.
I hope you’re OK!
No covid, so that’s good news. Just part of growing up. Tee hee … Thanks, Lois.
Perpetua….!! 😀 Take care of you and the kitties.
Bless your heart, Lois. We will.
LOL Perpetua – 9 am and still sleepy. A girl after my own heart! Did you see 2 cats tested positive for COVID-19 in New York this week. OY!
OY it is! Sad to read what’s happening in NY and USA. Me and my cats are all indoor beings. Today I woke up at 10 am. OY….
It seems as if you’ve described my day 😀
Except for having cats!
Thanks for sharing!
Aha, glad to know it’s not only me.
