I’m a night owl, but Sunday mornings in the summer are the greatest! The place I love to to sit and watch the garden is our patio, and the must accessory is a great cup of coffee!

These posts are so beautiful, so different. Isn’t it interesting how we are so influenced by the sun, the sky, the atmosphere, the dark calmness, the water… we really are children of the earth, made of stuff from the stars. It’s hard to tell where we end and the rhythm of the waves begin. I’ve long thought that we all have an internal clock, a natural preference for a time of day. I am not a morning person, although when forced to be up at dawn for an early flight, I can see the beauty of the day at dawning, the promise of a new beginning. But like so many posters, Kryssi, C A Rose, K B, Josie, and James, my preference is really the quiet of the evening. I am at my most productive when the hustle of the day is over. I find daytime so distracting, so much to do, so many people, pulls from so many directions, the phone, the doorbell,appointments … I love it when it is over ! I don’t think I’ve been to bed before midnight ever ! But saying that , there are a few very special moments in a day : late afternoon on the beach during vacation, cocktail hour to be exact. The little children have gone to their baths, the beach has emptied out, dinner is still to come, the sand has cooled and the sun is still warm, but sinking fast. My very favorite color is not the sunset, but the color opposite the sunset… the pink, blue, purple, gray over the water on Long Island sound. So subtle and soft, you must watch it because it changes by the second. Your feet in the sand, glass of wine in your hand, your skin radiating the heat of the now departed sun, a day well spent. HEAVEN ! But an equal favorite : A mid winter snowstorm, midnight. I go out to shovel a path and it is a winter fantasy, the snow falling, lit by the streetlights. The quiet is sooo quiet, the cold is sooo cold but so wonderful, clean and crisp, I have the world to myself, also HEAVEN ! But just as important… my husband is a morning person, I’m a night person… that’s probably why we’ve been married for 38 years ! He gets the morning, I get the night, we meet in the middle for a few hours… works for us ! HEAVEN !

I didn’t press the “VOTE” button because I can’t pick a favourite time of day. When I’m there, that’s the best time. When I won’t be there, that will be the worst time.

All very beautiful….loved reading every post. And holding good thoughts that everything is well with Lady Gator in Florida.

My favorite time of day is always at dusk,just before the sun sets. It doesn’t matter where I am, wether I am at home or in another country. I must say, the sunsets in Europe….Especially Italy are the most georgeous of all!

By nature I’m a night owl, however society has made me a day person ! It’s that work thing ! I love the cool air in the mornings, the stillness before everyone wakes up and starts stirring around. I like the warmth of the afternoon sun, the blue sky, watching the birds and relaxing on the patio, the calmness of the evening, walking in our neighborhood watching the sunset begin before the stars start to twinkle.

I used to have a favorite time—-but since my open heart surgery at 50 I think every moment I am here is a gift…
