caffeine

Some mornings are just like that.

Awareness comes in layers and with the last one comes the realization that sleeping in might not be a bad way to start the day.

The next thought is always a mental check of the calendar and remembering I have a breakfast date with my hubby.

So I leave the comfort of a warm quilt, grab my towel, and sprint down the hall to the shower.

And while the hot water finishes waking me, I'm mentally making the next move (coffee!)

At home, coffee is all about the electric pot, French press, or the Starbucks window. And the coffee is so good!

But we have spent some time camping over the last several years. The best time of day just has to be early, when it's all about wood fires, coffee and bacon. Can't you smell it?

We sit close to the fire, having brewed our morning pot in enamelware over an open flame. And it is so good!

So here's a little know fact. I was not a coffee drinker until I was in my 40s. As any of my friends will attest, I've made up for lost time.
