I love Earl and Opal, of "Pickles!" Do you read them?
I didn't sleep very well last night, so I hope to have a naportunity today. 😜
Thinking of waking up in the morning - LeeAnna has asked us to describe our morning routine. I am an early riser - rarely sleep past 6 am. I think that's a function of getting up so early for work for so many years. I don't mind being the first one up, though. I turn on the coffee pot, get that first sip, and spend some quiet time reading the news and my favorite bloggers.
After that, most days we live by the do "whatever we want, whenever we want"
retired people life style, lol!
We bought a new thistle feeder to try to attract the goldfinches once again, and we finally got one. We were so happy to see this guy and he hung out for a long time, too. He looked like he was just getting his summer colors coming in.
I was looking for a new mystery series to read, and saw that the latest book by Tana French has just come out, and it's the third book in a trilogy. So I thought it would be good to start at the beginning of the trilogy, and I'm liking it. These books take place in Ireland, but the main character is a retired police detective from Chicago. Of course he gets involved in a mystery in Ireland!
We are early risers too and have been for years. We've laughed about it because it's like we are afraid we will miss something! Your pretty place mat reminds me I need to start a couple for us.
ReplyDeleteLove the cartoon. We are early risers too, though I sleep a bit later now that I'm retired. Enjoy the finches and the book.
ReplyDeleteLol the cartoon is so funny and true. I often miss my naportunity. I live the retired person lifestyle too. Go to bed when I want and wake up when I want. But my morning always begins with a cup of coffee. I like your feeder. It is so wonderful to already have the goldfinches visiting it. Aren't they fascinating to watch? Enjoy your day, Diann. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYour retired life sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteI will search for that book I think I might have one of his. I don't read the comics much anymore but now and then.
ReplyDeleteI always miss my naportunity. Too many things to do! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your routine..so much like mine! That finch is lovely. Your new book reminds me of a britbox show my brother insisted I try called "A taste of Murder"==British detective in Italy. Saw the first episode and it's good so far. Let us know how you like the book! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love being the first one up in the morning. Hubby isn't far behind but I do enjoy some "me" time. The book series sounds interesting. You always recommend good books, Diann.
ReplyDeleteI love Pickles, but haven't seen it lately. I guess I could look it up everyday (I don't get a print newspaper any more), but I don't think about it. I just added the Tana French series to my Good Reads TBR list. I don't think I've every read any of her books.
