Your Sunday morning message - a wonderful addition to my already special morning. I too awoke early, started a fire, lite my candles, enjoyed my decaf coffee and said my prayers. On my way to town for church was gifted with that beautiful sunrise you shared!

I love your writing Kate, your descriptions so vivid, as if I’m right there with your starting the fire and feeding the chicks. I too love early mornings in the Pacific Northwest, and thanks to a new puppy, my mornings are even earlier now. “The Nightingale” was beautiful, well written historical fiction. Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors, you can’t go wrong with her books.

How truly cozy! I can see your fire in the wood stove and feel it. Especially love the description of the chickens 😊

This is gorgeous, Kate! It’s 5:30 am here in Chicago and it was so wonderful reading this now, at this hour.
