This morning's view of the east garden from inside the main suite<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a beautiful cool morning out there, Weatherbug<\/a>\u00a0tells me it’s 69 degrees and only 90% humidity. \u00a0I got up about dawn and ran to Planet Fitness for a workout before I could change my mind. \u00a0Now I’ve got all the doors and windows open and am drinking black coffee for a morning buzz. \u00a0I’ve already rearranged my bedroom and put a different comforter on the bed, anticipating cooler nights. \u00a0 I pulled down the dark-out curtains and opened the sliding glass door to the scenic view of the east woods. \u00a0There were several squirrels doing their morning dance on the branches of the oak canopy overhead, chattering and chasing each other. \u00a0Today I’ll deliver the October Horizons Magazine<\/a>\u00a0and go into the oriental market for black fungus<\/a> and tiger lily buds<\/a>, mushrooms and tofu\u00a0for a hot and sour soup<\/a>. Yes, I’ll check email, voice mail and Facebook but am otherwise taking the day off to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
