By 9 A.M.

It's quite amazing what can be accomplished when I get up with the sun!  We got a new batch of chicks yesterday so after I went out to check on them, I stayed up and:

- blanched 3 batches of beans (2 green, 1 yellow)

- baked a big batch of granola (20 cups of oatmeal plus extras)

- shared devotions with Bob
- started a load of sheets in the washer

- posted a gratitude entry to my blog
- had oatmeal and raspberries for breakfast - and enjoyed the big yellow sunflowers from the garden!

- and now I'm cleaning a pail of raspberries.

I'm just about ready for a nap!!
