It's a Beautiful Morning

When my mom and dad were in town they bought me some plants to spruce up the porch area. So every morning I've been faithfully going out, picking off the old buds on the flowers, and watering the flowers and herbs. I've found it is actually extremely calming, breaking me out of the 'I need to do this, and then that, and then this, oh and don't forget that' mindset I generally get in during the morning. The animals are also very excited by this new morning experience and they all pile out the door as soon as it's opened. The cats have been more and more reluctant to come back in each day. But really, how can you blame them?
