working breakfast: five on friday

 A friend and I had some plans to work on so we met at her house.
She was going to make us a simple breakfast with omelets.
When I saw her roses on the tray I thought this isn't a "simple" breakfast.
 It actually was "simple made beautiful" by the touches she thoughtfully added.
 A fresh flower adorned each of our plates.
 Her crocheted mug jackets kept the coffee warm.
We ate and talked on her porch while a gentle
rain fell on a cool morning,
interrupted only by a check on the neighborhood's newborn ducklings.
Five photos today so I can join Five on Friday.
