Up at 5am — we’re usually up by 2:30am, so this is late for us — and we have our coffee on the back patio. The sun isn’t even up yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s the view to the east — actually, a little north of east : 67\u00b0, according to my iPhone’s Hidden Sky app:

\nA quick stroll to check on our “farm”\u2026

It’s so quiet you can hear my outdoor clock-thermometer ticking\u2026 and then we hear the crop duster! He’s dusting over at B & J Farms, a local cotton farmer.

\n
Our one experimental “hot head” of lettuce: (lettuce is usually a cool weather crop)

\n
Some flowers Carol’s mom gave us — we thought they were dead the week after we got them home, but kept watering them and they perked right up!

And by 5:45am, the view changes dramatically! Time to face west\u2026
