Not my photo. I need a new photo hosting site. But this is a good rendition of one of the best parts of (early) morning.
Do you grind your coffee more coarsely for it?
I do, otherwise the finer grounds get into the water. The coarse stays pressed into the bottom.I have a press but I haven't used it in quite a long time, and yes, it does make very good coffee.
I love this time of day, too. We watch the sun rise, and wait for the chirping of the hummingbirds who are the first at the flowers and feeders.As for coffee... I'm usually drinking it in the dark of early morning, before the sun comes up, when the city is quiet. These things are inseparable for me. I feel more alive during this time than any other time of the day.

My daughter just enclosed our porch, and I have a comfy couch and love seat to sit on every morning, around 5 a.m. and enjoy my first cups of coffee with my adoring fans (the chihuahuas). It's such a peaceful way to begin the day.

A few weeks ago, up in the Ozarks in Arkansas, Mrs. B and I got to the top of a ridge and found this perfect little Romanesque church. I thought it was new, it looked so great, but it dates back to the 1870s, and had just been completely restored.
I met some of the parishioners whose ancestors built the church, mule skinning all the materials up the ridge.
This was the best shot of the day:
Mrs. B's shot, darn it.
