Is this a set up?

What’s your favorite time of day?

My gut reaction is to answer “Daytime”, but it feels like I’m being played, here!

Like one of those pull my finger sort of jokes, or something. If I were to fall for such an obvious trick, it would be all over WordPress Daily news, which is right down the block from The Lobby.

I’d be too embarrassed to show my face out in the street, what with Oscar the Grouch’s garbage can perfectly placed right on the corner. You know, he can be very rude sometimes! On any given day, one might find him entertaining himself by reading the daily newspaper out loud, from his can. I know it doesn’t sound so rude, at first, but let me finish. Oscar doesn’t simply read the articles… no no. He shouts the words as loud as he can, and does so in the direction of whoever walks by his garbage can. See? Very rude, in my opinion.

While I do prefer the quiet of the morning, I’m not going to answer, on the grounds that it may incriminate me, somehow.

What I will do, however, is make a double batch of cookies for everyone, to make up for the ones I forgot the other day. Though you may not think it a big deal, I have a reputation to uphold. In the words of Captain Barbosa, “Don’t dare impugn me honor boy!”

May these cookies served to you, here, this morning, fulfill my duty to me ship, me WordPress family, and me crew!

Double fudge chocolate…

or,

Ok, so maybe these one’s are more like cupcakes. Fine! They’re actual cupcakes, so what? But I should still get credit, what with all the work I put into baking them for you. And, two is still two, right?!

C Is For Coffee, It’s Oh So Right For Me…

What’s your favorite time of day?

Mornings are definitely the best part of the day, for this coffee monster!

I do my best literary work in the early morning hours of the day. I can enjoy my walks along the river in the cool air, before it gets to warm for my taste. It’s also when I spend my time studying the word of God. The RV is quiet, the world hasn’t gone into full locomotion status yet, and the smell of French Vanilla Creamer allows me the sweetest quiet time’s.

So, ya… Mornings, for certain!

Here, I’m leaving two plates of cookies today… I forgot them, yesterday.

Some of these almost look like cupcakes…

The Time of Silence…

There is a certain place, in the hours of before dawn, in which I thrive. The RV is silent, aside from the sound of the coffee maker brewing its magic. The smell permeates the whole area surrounding my computer, where I do my writing. If you look out the window behind the sink, you can just see the soft early morning light breaking through the curtains of night.

There are no sounds of cars driving by, dogs barking, or any sounds of daily activity. It is a time that most are probably in the shower, getting dressed, and enjoying their morning quiet also. Sometimes I like to walk along the river during this time, simply for the cool morning air mixing with the steam rising from my coffee thermos. The most beautiful sounds come from the woods this early… from the water passing by, to the chittering sounds of the woodland creatures within the undergrowth.

I guess it is considered pre dawn… that time where the hourglass of Daytime/Nighttime is being overturned, and beginning to pour out its time all over again.

Fresh starts, fresh adventures, and fresh purpose… I journey forth into the here and now of whatever the day will present.

Speaking of fresh… here is a fresh start to a healthy day…
