MORNING COFFEE on the PORCH


Wake up mommy!
Ellie-Mae was ready to get up EARLY this morning!
Yes, she is our baby...we never imagined how she would capture our hearts!


Once the coffee is brewed Mr. Heart joins Ellie-Mae and me on the porch...our favorite morning spot.

It is cool on the porch this morning, feels like fall!
The wind is gently blowing,
the birds are singing as they visit the feeders and
the sun is beginning to gleam through the trees.

I have to get the afghan this morning, there is such a chill in the air!


After a couple cups of coffee Mr. Heart heads upstairs to get busy for the day.  It is so nice on the porch with the sun now shining even brighter.  I think I'll "set a spell" and continue enjoying the beauty of this morning.  So, I get another cup of coffee topped with whip cream along with the book I've been reading. 


I couldn't help but notice the beautiful clematis.
The tiny white blooms are so bright in the morning light.






This sweet cardinal isn't sure about me being so close.
See him peeking over the feeder, he's deciding what to do...
eat or fly away...


I'm so glad he's decided to eat, they are so beautiful and their songs so sweet!


Now, back to my book and coffee...
Beth Moore's "Believing God", highly recommend it!


So thankful for this beautiful morning.

"The while earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns,
where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy."  Psalm 65:8


I love hearing from you...you always say the kindest things!
Blessings,
Cindy

    What a peaceful post, and that little Ellie-Mae is a doll! Love the picture of your rooster coffee mug with the whip cream on top.

    It sounds like you had a splendid morning on your porch. I love fall Clematis. Seeing yours in bloom makes me want to go outside to check mine to see how far along it is. It shouldn't be too long before it blooms.

    Thanks for letting us join you for coffee this morning. I don't think I would have ever gone inside. The flowers and the cardinal are certainly a reminder of God's goodness and majesty...I think He may even be responsible for that delightful whipped cream on your coffee. I am using Beth Moore's Believing God devotional this year and am learning so much about my faith. Enjoy the rest of your week.

    Morning Cindy,
    You are so right there is nothing like sitting out on your porch as you start your day. I love to do that, but still way to hot here, so I am really anticipating cool mornings............
    Ellie Mae is just adorable, they can just steal your heart so easily, like our grandaughter dog
    Rosie, she is such a lil priss too! and that
    clementis is gorgeous and I do so love cardinals we get them here too, my favorite bird really,
    they are so pretty. and is that a Beth Moore book by any chance?? If so, I know it is good.
    Love her stuff and love to watch her even more.
    She is a Jesus dynamo...............

    Have a lovely Fall, sounds like you are starting to experience that now..............
    I am gonna have to fake myself out by decorating
    the house and feeling like it is Fall on the inside even if it is 90-100 degrees outside!! lol

    Blessing Hon, Nellie

    Beautiful photos, and such sweet words. I'm jealous of the chill in the air at your house this morning! We don't have that yet in southern Mississippi!

    Sounds like you have wonderful weather, great company, and a beautiful view! No wonder you spend the beginning of every day on your porch. I especially enjoyed your bird pictures. I keep trying to take pictures of the birds in our yard, but haven't been too successful in capturing a photo yet. Maybe someday! Have a great day.

    I so enjoyed your coffee on your porch right along with you. We have a deck that has the most beautiful mountain view. Coffee out there in the sunshine is the best. Next time I'm adding some whipped cream. Big smile here.

    Cindy, Such a beautiful post on the porch. Makes me want to sit on ours, but too sticky out to be enjoyed right now. Certainly there is no cool breeze to enjoy with a quilt. Oh, be still my heart. That sounds so nice! Always remember I am a Yankee girl and "Cool" and "cold" are words I love, lol. Ellie-Mae is just delightful. Love that sweet face. Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a precious comment. Thought the post was a bit "wordy" but he does read my blog every day and I so wanted him to know that I do tell the world how much I love him and how Great God is. Have a beautiful long weekend. Blessings,
    Lynn
