The alarm woke me up at 6 am. I was feeling sleepy. I wanted to go back to sleep but I also wanted to go for my walk. After 1 or 2 minutes, the part that wanted to go for morning walk won when I got up from bed. I can always catch up on my sleep with a little nap later in the afternoon.
The joy of seeing the beginning of a new day is worth waking up early.
Back home in my garden, it is a joy to see the beginning of new lives. A Tailor Bird has chosen to build its nest using the leaves of my eggplant.

Due to the current hot weather, I am spending more time indoors. Another simple home cooked dinner that doesn't require much sweating in the kitchen.
Stewed chichen feet with dried mushrooms and napa cabbage.
Snake long beans sauteed with garlic and salt.
We had noodles with the above 2 dishes.
Official Seals of the Malaysian Election Commission.
(1959) (1969)
The above official seals were used in the administration of elections.
His presence within us is God's guarantee that he really
will give us all that he promised;
and the Spirit's seal upon us means that God has already
purchased us and that he guarantees to bring us to himself.
This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.
(Ephesians 1:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

DeleteYou are so diligent! I cannot wake up so early for morning walks.
ReplyDeleteMost of the times I am up before the alarm but there are days I struggle to get up from bed.
DeleteI should be like you and walk early in the morning. It's cooler.
ReplyDeleteYes, I prefer morning walks when it is much cooler than evening walk.
DeleteI would have chosen to turn over and go back to sleep! What a sweet little nest; this bird must be very small?
ReplyDeleteHa ha..sometimes I will do that. Have a great day.
DeleteEs un placer pasar por su blog Saludos
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jose.
Deletelong bean looks appealing... yummy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tanza.
DeleteHow nice you found a tiny bird nest. I also had one years ago on my Japanese bamboo tree. There was an egg inside but when I came home the nest was gone. I reckon stray cats got to it. So dad.
ReplyDeleteI didn't disturb the nest and I didn't check for eggs. This is quite high and I think not easy for cat to reach it.
DeleteGood for you, getting up and walking! Exercise is worth getting up to do, and naps are great, also.
ReplyDeleteThese days I am looking forward to short naps.
DeleteGreat photos. I have never seen cooked chicken feet before.
ReplyDeleteSome don't eat chicken feet but we love it.
DeleteSo very nice
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteWish I have your strong urge to get up and exercise!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, dear because you need your beauty sleep.
Deletewah got chicken feet, nice!
ReplyDeleteWe love chicken feet cooked this way, with lots of napa cabbage.
DeleteI like the look of that chicken feet dish. It won't turn out oily?
ReplyDeleteIts not oily because I used minimum oil.
DeleteMuy lindo el nido. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteWhat a beautiful sky!
