Morning
I took a sideboard breakfast of scrambled eggs, thick-cut bacon, sausage, grits, peaches, figs, grapefruit, tomato juice, milk, and pumpkin muffins…
From my table I looked through long windows onto a tomato patch from the year before; a meadowlark let loose a piece of plaintive song in the mist, and a recognition moved in my memory as if I’d been here before.

Breakfast!
The word will get around
I went out before breakfast
to fill the bird feeder.
So far only jays come,
but the word will get around.
~ May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude

The morning cup of coffee
has an exhilaration about it
which the cheering influence
of the afternoon or evening cup of tea
cannot be expected to reproduce.
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., “Over the Teacups,” 1891
