wake-up sunshine

I’m not really a great morn­ing per­son, but when we are run­ning out of beau­ti­ful deep dark greens, col­or­ful beets or chard, or the fresh­est organic eggs one can imag­ine, I put spe­cial effort in wak­ing up before the sun. The walk to our favorite organic farm, to El Ran­cho La Trinidad, is fresh in the early morn­ing hours, and we are rewarded not only with a nice walk, but also with some lovely treats:

The sky­line is wak­ing up quietly

Along the path the trees are stretch­ing their limbs

upon our arrival we are ignored by a flock of ‘ladies’ who are far too busy catch­ing the ‘early morn­ing worm’

though noth­ing escapes from the sharp-eyed rooster

we are charmed by pre­cious– still warm– gift from the ladies

and delighted by a lovely bun­dle of del­i­cate field flow­ers from the friendly man at the farm.….
