The flowers on the pumpkin vines open up every morning seeking bees for pollination. If I am quiet and walk gingerly around my vertical pumpkin patch, I can hear and see the little bees and even some polka dotted pollinators I have yet to identify. This is morning.
I am at my best in the morning. I am up st 5:30 am.
You know it's hip to keep urban farmer hours.
I slowly ease into the day lifting five pound weights, while I sit on my exercise ball. My cat lingers around me, laying on the exercise mat. He refuses to move, no matter how close the ball or weights get to him. Anaerobic first then aerobic. . .jumping rope and Tae No style ab work. Then I go out and water my little patch of land. Much like the flowers in the pumpkin patch. I open up to the day.
Beautiful post and beautiful pics! Fun fact: I've noticed that 5:30AM doesn't seem so early on days when I won't be spending the rest of the day at the office. As a kid, weekends used to be about sleeping in, but now I look forward to getting up early to spend time in the garden.
