I straighted up the kitchen and then started breakfast. I served muffins, hard boiled eggs and orange juice. I decided to serve breakfast on the back porch.
I covered the table with my signature red and white table cloth, used an old candle container to repurpose a bouquet that was almost spent. I added some homespun fabric to my roaster for the muffins and some to a berry basket to serve the eggs.
We had breakfast at 6:30 and it was so much fun! It was still fairly dark when we started. It was cool and the night sounds were still out. By the time we finished the sun was rising and it was beautiful! I am so glad I took the time to enjoy this simple pleasure.
Boy that's the very definition of making lemonade out of lemons. How nice!

Wendi,
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect way to find the positive when it seems like a negative start to our day is beginning. I bet the sunrise as you were finishing breakfast was amazing!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do! I will keep that in mind for the inevitable time when my 3 yr old decides that 3 or 4 am is the perfect time to start the day.....
