The Backyard in the Morning

The backyard is nice and sunny in the morning. That's the honest size of this page.

The basil and rosemary grow out there, in pots. I wrote about those herbs in Basil and Rosemary. We have no indoor plants. What we grow, we grow outside.

Morning is the kind hour in an Anthem yard. Later in the day, especially in summer, the heat takes over, and the useful habits of this house move indoors: shade, blinds, air-conditioning, and knowing when not to step outside. I wrote about that in An Arizona House That Stays Livable in the Heat.

Inside, the bread machine and the coffee are on a timer, and the house smells like a loaf. We love fresh fruit in the morning. Those habits live in Rhythms Are How We Make It Work. The yard, at that hour, is simply nice and sunny, with two pots in it. That's enough to say.
