The army has nothing on us…

The U.S. Army slogan – or at least it was: “We get more done by 9 a.m. than most people do all day”.

Here at la Casa Summers, we are NOT most people.

Plus, at Latitude 48 North, sunrise is now before 6:00 a.m. It is light by 5:00 a.m. The birdies are singing about 4:45.

I’ve always been a morning person, but in the summer I get going even earlier. Auggie is right with this program as he’s ready to go as soon as he hears the birds!

Bear has no objections either.

Wild strawberry on this morning (Wednesday).

Sticky shooting star – not many of these in my woods and it is always fun to find one!

Auggie, in the morning sunshine…looking very serious!

Auggie’s legs are fluffy down to the “knee” and then the hair is short to his feet. I laugh every time he trots ahead of me as with his tail in the air: his fluffy behind and upper legs with the close haired lower legs – it makes him look like he’s wearing pantaloons.

Bear’s turn to be serious and he did it very well. A herd of 6-8 deer ran near the west property line and out onto the state land. I asked Bear to “Leave it”. He didn’t want to, but he did. Good Boy!

Meanwhile that boule was baking, the dough for the tortillas was resting and post walk the tortillas were made as well as my breakfast of a fresh tortilla stuffed with black beans and cheddar – topped with tomatillo salsa and a side of fresh pineapple.

It was 8:09.

I ate my breakfast at the island in morning sunshine and was at my desk by 8:30 a.m.

Bear and Auggie were having morning naps.

The army has nothing on us!
