Sun pushes through the closed blinds

The robin begins singing it's morning song at 6 am.  At quarter past eight, it's on its second wind: a joyous alarm clock.

The purple broccoli and collards I planted 11 months ago are sprouting, finally edible.  All the better from neglect.  Garden is in better shape than I woulda' thought.

The wind off of the lake is cold, though the sun is warm.  The only birds around the lake are the coots walking the shoreline on their massive white-veined feet.  Only slightly alarmed by my passing them.  Further off a couple of crows languidly chase a (very vocal) juvenile eagle, but are soon bored with the pursuit and land in a tree.  A magical kinda' light, again more lovely from the presence of passing clouds.

Moving laundry from washer to dryer shredded tissue falls from it like snow and I shake it loose.  It sticks to my pant legs.  Something to do while the laundry dries.

Finally seeing a house today.  Possibly two.  Feeling calm and lazy.  Lotta' work to do.
