One of the tables at a local coffee shop has a chess board painted against a colorful background. Not sure whether chess pieces are available for those who want to play. If they do, it’s worth noting that chess is a very geometric game.

After recent rain, the sun came out and illuminated the water drops on coffee berries in the yard.

My morning plunge is not a dip in the water, but making coffee in a French press. Fresh ground coffee in the carafe, fill with hot water, and let it sit for four minutes. Then push the plunger down, pour the coffee, and add half and half. And another day gets underway!
A couple of years ago, a hedge made up of several small coffee plants was planted along the edge of the old homestead. The plants have had mixed success thanks to uncooperative weather and a surfeit of chickens and pigs in the neighborhood.
However, several of the plants have thrived and this year, for the first time, produced blooms. When I noticed them, I immediately walked over and stuck my head down there to see if they had any scent. I didn’t notice much, but what I did notice was a loud buzzing noise and I realized that, scented or not, the bees were having a field day.
So I withdrew my head and took these photos. I’m glad I did because the flowers were short-lived and a couple of days later they were gone.
