Early Morning

I've been awake since five AM I threw on my dirty clothes from yesterday went outside to turn the sprinkler on in the vegetable garden. I really need to get some manure in there, around the emerging vegetables, especially the peas which are now 2-3 inches high and the beets which are still only two leaves and looked starved.

The sky is clear for a change a pale watery blue. I think today will be hot.

I touched up my white paint in the kitchen, the exposed parts of gyp rock around where the logs have shrunk. While I was washing the brush the water for my tea started to boil and Robert came downstairs.

He's a bit annoyed I'm up so early, says I'm making too much noise for him to sleep. It was his idea not to put up walls and a door on the loft bedroom. At this moment I would rather have bedroom walls so he would stay in bed and I could have the quiet early morning to myself.
