Hot coffee at 5am

I hate gettin' early, but I love being up early. Make sense. Most days here at the ranch, I don't sleep past 6:30. Even if I wanted to I couldn't. The sun comes through my east window everyday morning... funny how that works.
But this morning, it's just now 6:00 and I've been going for at least an hour. It's a great morning. There's a firm (not stiff) breeze blowing from the south. By the way, a firm breeze isn't as severe as a stiff breeze which is less than breezy and a far cry from gusty and even further from windy.
Anyway, weird stuff happens out here early in the morning. It probably happens everyday. I just don't hear it because I'm not up at 5am most days. Right now, that firm breeze is moving clouds across the sky. There's a sliver of a moon illuminating the background. And there are some weird looking bugs, too.
I just noticed the biggest moth I've ever seen perched on one of the pavilion front porch columns. I bet it's body is 4". It's wingspan must be twice that---if I calculated correctly using my high school trigonometry... or is it algebra.
I gotta get earlier.. the is an interesting and comfortable part of the day.
