I'm joining the ranks of the converted when it comes to rising early to get work done before it gets super hot. The dog walk happening first thing is great because it doesn't interrupt anything else later on. My brain/metabolism is adjusting to the earlier hour as I also adjust to getting to bed earlier. Not so remarkable, perhaps, but it is a life changer around here. I feel like I get a lot more done in a day in the early hours rather than trying to work on things late in the evening.
Monday is trash day and a few doors up there was an intricately built bird feeder on the trash. I'm not going to use it for a feeder, I'll let it be yard art. I have one out there already, so this will make it a "collection."
