Morning Coffee in my backyard in Houston,TX

Today, as I have been doing since I retired, I am sitting in my backyard having coffee. Since I got older, I only need 6 hours of sleep per night, so I got up at 4:30 AM, made my coffee, and fed my two cats. My wife on the other hand sleeps until 8:30 AM. So I have plenty of time to be alone and in peace. Once outside I place birdseed on the ground for the many cardinals, bluejays, sparrows, doves, and squirrels. The animals all know me and they are not afraid. I enjoy watching them eat.In my yard, I have a chaise lounger with soft cushions and that is where I lie down and drink my coffee. Believe it or not the temperature this morning, October 12, in my yard at 4:30 AM in Houston was 73 deg F. Normally at 4:30 AM to 5 AM from April to November my yard temperature is between 70 deg F and 83 deg F so being naked is delightful. Once in a while,if it gets chilly, I'll put ona hoodie but I am still naked from the waist down. The other great thing is at that time the night sky is pretty clear and I can see the Orion Constellation, the planet Venus rising in the East, and sometimes shooting stars. I stay in my yard until around 8 AM.I love my morning coffee in my yard it is my own little paradise.
