Most gardeners find the early morning a special time and at New Farm we agree. The sun peaks through the canopy to the east and it a good time to be outside.
It’s a quiet time and the awaking of the new day shares its metaphor with the promise of a garden and farm. The bees start humming, the flowers open and the chickens begin to scratch. There are eggs to collect and perhaps some veggies to snip and add to your omelet. 
Bees begin to stir as the sunlight hits the hive and warms them
Even just a stroll through with a cup of coffee sets up the day with a perspective of the natural world. Pick off a few bugs, grab some flowers for the table and think about what to plant or harvest. Some mornings we can hear the clarion of the church steeple a mile to the north through the trees.
The sunrise steams the dew off the roof our shed
It is easy to linger too long but no matter what works lays ahead this is the way to start the day!
