The Aloe is finally blooming under- and around the little Cholla.
And the Hyacinth bulbs I planted last Spring came back for another lovely show.
What do you do with your early mornings?

Early March Morning
I have a thing for early mornings- I just love that part of the day. I feel cheated if I miss the sunrise so I rarely sleep past dawn, usually getting up by 4:30 or so. Early mornings are my time for catching up on work and email and watching the sun come up. I thought the sky was particularly beautiful this morning.

oh, so pretty, I love sky pictures!
Did you water the hyacinths area in the summer even though the flowers and leaves are gone? Did you amend the soil when you planted them? I have been tempted to try bulbs, but I want mine to bloom more than one year--like your beautiful blue hyacinths!
I also love early mornings, that's when I get a little housework done before turning on the computer. You shot some beautiful sunrise pictures. And, I like the way your aloe looks with the cholla.
I'm with you, these early mornings are just gorgeous. I always get up and walk, then eat breakfast and hit the computer.
Oh, how beautiful. I always squander away my sunrises drinking coffee and snuggling with my little sugar doggie...I can't help it!!! LOLOL!
Thanks for all your comments! I am glad to hear others enjoy the early morning hours.
Nancy- I did water the area in the summer. I have added Miracle Grow garden soil to the normal clay like dirt in my beds. I was surprised when they came up again.
I haven't seen a sunrise in years! Unless forced, I don't get up before 9:30 AM. When I started first grade, my wish was to be finished with school so I wouldn't have to get up early. Had to wait 47 years from that point before I could live my dream!
Your hyacinth is really nice for a second time around. Years ago I planted hycinth bulbs and they were nice the first year, but the following year they were 1/4 the size.

I visited Tuscon this winter for the first time and loved it. Your photographs are good at capturing that beauty.
Great shots. I get up real early in the mornings long before the crack of dawns whip. Then rather than disturbing my new roommates, I hunker down in my room and catch up on as many of the blogs I'm following as possible before drafting a new post of my own (which I should be doing right now). I just noticed Teri C. is following your blog. That's really neat. I remember her from Illo Fri. Well I need to go get my post drafted. Sun will be rising soon.
Mom, you must be getting old.... seriously.. cheated if you have to sleep in? LOL I feel cheated if I HAVE to get up that early....lol
Dee, beautiful photos! I'm an early riser, too! UNFORTUNATELY, I have to drive to work 5 mornings! Yuck! But, on weekends, I get up early and sometimes I go out driving in our local desert (near Palm Springs) and look for beauty in the desert!
