Morning Moments

The first thing I do after I get up in the morning is let the dogs out into the backyard to do their 'business', then I feed them and the cats their breakfasts.  This was at about 6:30 this morning, and the sun wasn't quite up yet.  My neighbor's pond was shrouded in mist, the forsythia at the corner of our properties was ablaze, and I thought the colors and textures would make a nice photo.  While the dogs waited patiently to be fed, I was outside capturing the moment with my camera. 

Our fantastic warm weather continues ... it's in the 60s this morning, with bright sunshine and lovely breezes.  The windows are open, and the cats are enjoying the birds and squirrels outside.  The weatherman says that today is the last day for this, as a rain system will arrive overnight and bring cooler temperatures. 

Alice is in the family room side window getting in a last little bit of bird watching while she can.  It's great that this old house of ours has such deep windowsills.

I'm on my way to the store, to get another bucket of Preen so I can finish treating the Rose Field before the rain arrives.  The only way to get the upper hand with the weeds will be to attack them on a number of fronts ... pulling, spraying, and preventing.  Wish me luck.
