With sunrise at 5:29 AM, how am I expected to get any sleep?  Ugh.  I stammer out of bed to perform my usual morning routine of letting the dog out and all.  My bones ache.  I load up the coffeemaker with grounds and water.  It gurgles and puffs.  A steady stream trickling into the pot.  A mug full of caffeine to keep me awake during the day.

This piece would work in a space that is light red, light orange, yellow, green, ultramarine blue, yellow, lavender purple, black, white, wood, or a neutral beige

It's been a long, beautiful day hiking through the natural settings of the state park.  We soak our worn feet into a cool creek and put on sandals on the way back to the campsite for dinner.  In deep darkness, we grill a few brats and vegetables over a small flame.  It gives a flavor you can't acquire on a stove or oven.  And, of course, the perfect way to finish the day is with a s'more.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, light yellow, dark green, blue, beige, or wood.

It's early on the Sunday morning.  Too early to watch football.  Too late to stay in bed.  Still need a pick-me-up.  So, I put some grounds and water into the French Press.  Watch the deer graze in the backyard as it brews.  Put the dog on the leash, fill a couple of travel mugs with coffee, and take a walk around the neighborhood.  I wish every morning was like this.

This piece would work in a space that is deep red, burnt orange, yellow, green, ultramarine blue, lavender purple, wood, or a neutral beige
