The espresso machine has left the building. I'm back to caffiene-free tea...Sun Spree Honey to be exact. It's boring but it's warm. I'm thinking about sexing-up the tea routine by switching to Earl Grey or English Breakfast with a splash of half-n-half.

I've already spilt part of my Sun Spree on my new cream colored sweater. I look like I'm lactating tea. It's quite fetching, if you're into the whole middle-aged street urchin look. Can you be a middle-aged street urchin? Probably not.

The pelicans are out on MY part of the lake this morning. They're feeding right now. They're the most intriguing birds. Ducks are like dogs. Geese are just plain mean. Pelicans rock. Their whole attitude is so laid back. They spend most of the time sunning themselves or cruising around in little groups. It's amazing the way they'll suddenly form a big group and start herding fish. It like they all get hungry at the same time. I love watching them. I think they must have sensed that I needed a pick-me-up this morning so they came to my window eat. Monday morning with Sun Spree Honey on my sweater doesn't seem quite so bad anymore.
