Lately, I've been waking at..........

Lately, I've been waking at 6am.  Opening the shade by my side of the bed, and laying there, watching the sunrise.  Well, the wee little bit of sunrise, which we get in this house.  Trees near and far, hide the full sunrise/sunset.  But I see a spot, out my window, where the sky (between trees and over a roof) begins to lighten.   Then it turns various shades of gold and golden pink. 

I come down and get the coffee/decaf going.  And can see the sunrise proceeding (the rosey-bit, seen through the trees), from my south-facing kitchen window.  And the Old Oak Tree greets me, every morning.  :-)

I also like to get up, well before sunrise.  Come down when the outside world is still dark.  I like to open the shades, and see my kitchen lights, bouncing back at me, from the windows.  When outside is black, inside lights reflect, and it looks cozy, to me.  :-)

Yesterday, while "Uncle A." was fixing the tiles in the front hall...........   I was baking again!  I tried making  G/F Biscuits.  But I didn't have G/F Bisquick, which I thought I had.  So I used another G/F Baking Mix and kind of adapted the original recipe.   Mmmmm, they don't look all the great.  But they taste ok, so who cares?  ,-) 

I used some of that mixture, to top a G/F Blueberry Cobbler for me....  It's really a little one, made in a little glass casserole.  And then I made Cranberry/Orange/Nut Muffins for "Uncle A."  NOT G/F, of course.   :-)

Then I put the Cobbler in the refrig.  Bagged the Muffins and Biscuits, and froze them.  When we want one, we take it out and microwave it a bit.  They stay fresher, this way.  

 

If you remember, I've been hooked on an older Brit tv show called "Pie In The Sky"...  And I want to take a look at "Rosemary and Thyme."  Both these can be gotten from my Library System.  Well, I went to amazon, and asked for a list of British tv shows.  Up came a *zillion.*  I'd read  up on them, then if I liked it, I looked it up on my Library System Net site.  My System has loads of them!!!  Hoooray!!!!!

Above is from "Wodehouse Playhouse" and has 2 favorite actors of ours...  Double Hooray!!!!!

I can actually see how people could do away with cable, keep tv, and rent old shows to watch.  :-)  And renting from Library doesn't cost, like from Net Flix, etc.  (Our taxes pay for the Library of course but.....)  No, we won't be getting rid of cable, because there are things on cable, which we want to watch.  But!  No more need for those times when the general opinion is; "There is NOTHING to watch, on tv!"  :-)

Of course, I always have books to read, so tv is not that much of a necessity.  But...  I'm so glad I finally took a look at what my Library System has to offer, as to tv rentals.  :-)
