Hi! If we were having coffee together you would see this cup!
That’s my favorite coffee cup. I have two. One for our place in Arizona and one for the Lake House in Pennsylvania. You see… coffee just tastes best in this coffee cup. Plus, when I hold this coffee cup, it just feels right! I think of my sister when I use this coffee cup, because she gave both cups to me. Oh, I know, I know… it’s a Christmas Coffee Cup. I use it YEAR ROUND! And I love it!
I am linking up with Diana from Part-Time Monster.
She hosts #WeekendCoffeeShare over at her blog. It’s all about if we were sitting down and chatting over a cup of coffee.
So… how are ya this fine morning?
It is absolutely beautiful here in The Valley of the Sun… aka, Phoenix, AZ.
The skies are blue 99% of the time and we can chat over coffee out here in the back yard almost every day of the year.
Today as we chat … we can hear the birds sing. But best of all we are watching the hummingbirds enjoy the nectar from the desert blossoms.
The famous Quail march along the wall and we just gaze at them…
We love our beloved Quail!
Not too much chatting is actually going on… because we are amazed of the backyard entertainment. So we just sit, sip our coffee, gaze and once again say… “It’s Another Beautiful Day in Paradise.” Thank you for coming over and I hope we can chat/gaze over another cup of coffee real soon!
Thank You Diana for hosting this Link Up Party!
Part-TimeMonster Weekend Coffee Share
Until Next Time ~Nancy
I’ll be right over. Lol
YEA! I will put on another pot of Coffee!
Your garden and the blue skies look lovely!
Thank You So Much! We love it here!
I have two favorite coffee cups. One has motorcycles on it that I’ve had since I was 13 or 14 years old racing motorcycles. I currently use that one at the office. The other we got when we got married. They are both one of a kind cups and they have both endured through the years. Nice photos of the hummer and qual.
Thank You!
There is just something about the feel of the coffee cup but also the story behind the cup! HA HA HA
Thanks for enjoying our backyard entertainment!
I had the same kind of morning on the patio in Green Valley. A beautiful day, birds singing and cool air turned warm.
I enjoyed a weekend in Green Valley. I have friend who gad a condo that she rents out. Beautiful birding area! And close by Tupac is so fun!!
What a beautiful day! It’s pretty grey and overcast here in New Orleans right now, which is unfortunate since I’m supposed to be attending a pool party and crawfish boil later today!!
Mmmmmm… A crawfish boil! Yum! Thank you for stopping by and thanks for hosting the party!
I want to have coffee with you some morning. Love your coffee mug, your surroundings with your quail and hummingbirds. Miss you so.
Soon we will be watching the wrens at the Lake. And your birds swimming in your birdbath!
And next fall you are coming out here!!!!!!!
Stunning photos. 🙂
Thank You So Much! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and comment!
I have a set of favorite coffee cups that were a gift from a friend who has passed. When I get one out, I just smile thinking of her. Spring has finally returned here, and I put our hummingbird feeder out. Now, if they just find their way because I do love watching them. Thanks for the invite for coffee. 🙂
I am so glad Spring has Sprung for you!! What a special reminder of your friend when you have coffee.
And I made another pot so come on over!
I thoroughly agree – coffee tastes different depending on the cup you drink it from!
It really does! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed the gazing! 🙂
Loved the cup of coffee and that hummingbird photo…WOW!
Hi Sweet Sue! One day we are going to chat over a cup of coffee. I just know it!
I think so too!
Hey, Girlfriend! I love virtually hanging out in your beautiful sunny backyard with you! Today, my backyard in Seattle looks similar to yours (bright blue sunshiny skies) with a lots of greenery dotted with daffodils, lilacs, and wisteria. I’m drinking out of my favorite coffee cup, too. Mine is deep sort of forest green with lavender trim. It’s petite to keep me from over drinking (coffee) and is a gift from my mom.
I miss the little adorable quail families that used to trot through my backyard in AZ! I hear birds chirping, but am not sure what they are. Maybe Blue Jays?
I agree with Rhio, your quail photos are stunning!
Hey Girlfriend… what fun we had watching those hummers fly by.
So you have a special cup as well. I need a mug full and it has to be HOT and it has to be almost full to the brim.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your lilacs. I miss those very much!!
I so enjoy your weekend coffee share, Nancy! What a beautiful back yard. hummingbirds and Quail, paradise indeed! 🙂
Well, my dear it was YOU who got me started on this party called #weekendCoffeeShare! I enjoyed sharing coffee with you last weekend. You floral photos were outstanding!
Me?! I’m so glad you did. 🙂 🙂
🙂
I really loved your photos!
Well, thank you KB! How nice of you to stop in and visit our backyard!
Sigh…that is a back yard! Coffee or no coffee.
Hey Girlfriend! You are invited anytime! And perhaps coffee will extend into margaritas!
Let’s cut to the chase and go right for the margaritas! Sin sal,por favor.
😉
Cool images. I love the look of that patio area. I would not mind spending a nice afternoon out there. Cheers!
Thank You! We enjoy it very much. A nice place to relax!
It is interesting how coffee tasted best in certain mugs. I have a favorite mug and use it every morning:) I just love your backyard. The colors are so inviting:)
One day … We need to have coffee out there together. But I really think you might enjoy Happy Hour here as well! 😊
Love your cup, it is lovely any time of the year. Your backyard is aslo beautiful. We lived in Yuma for awhile. Where we are iving it is hard to feed the birds and I miss doing that. Love the hummingbird and quail. There were quail coming into the apartment area bu not recently. I suspect they have young and won’t see them for awhile. Glad to meet you and Welcome to Coffee share.
Glad to meet you as well! Welcome to our place! Thank you for commenting and I will stop by one day soon.
Will look forward to your visit.
Isn’t it funny how we have our favorite cup? I have my very first favorite and then I have my second place runner-up. Last year for Christmas our entire family each selected a mug, wrapped it up, and passed them around during one of our games. Everyone went home with a new mug. I love my new mug it’s become possibly my number two favorite! As it turns out it’s a Winnie the Pooh mug with a picture of Eeyore on it and it has a very unique shape. Everybody loves the game. I think next year we’re going to do socks.
I love it! What a great idea! I have a second favorite as well but… It’s just that… my second favorite. Hugs to you my friend… Still praying!
Love your backyard!
Thank You! You do know… One day you and I will meet! We are not that far away from each other.
If ever you are in the area… We could have coffee! And vice versa!
Yes! I look forward to it! 😀
LOVE you so. Ery, very much. Have fun and All will be just fine because I know The Lord will hold you in His hands….xoxoxo9ooo

You bet!
I love the Quail too. Nice pictures.
Thank You Connie. How nice of you to stop by!
A lovely post, a yard that inspires me, and it is lovely when we chat it up together under the shared blue sky of our beloved Arizona. 🐝
How we love our Arizona Sun! I just got back from Europe and am enjoying our Sun once again!
Oh Nancy…I am thrilled for you! I believe a visit to Europe should be on every Americans mandatory must do list. I look so forward to seeing your photos and the interesting posts that will be flowing to your marvelous website. Yahoo Nancy…back from Europe! 📮
I agree! Such beauty! And not once… did I feel unsafe. Stay tuned my friend!😊
Excellent. 📮
What a beautiful garden! I miss my cactus garden now that we are living away from the desert – yours is a work of art. Enjoyed our coffee together – thanks so much.
Thanks for stopping by and having coffee. I have to say… I have been away on a cruise so my Thank You is a bit late.
I’m not surprised not to much chatting is going on, what a lovely place to relax, and those hummingbirds, and quails. Oh and the Xmas mug too! All very nice thanks for the coffee share!
So glad you stopped by!
Gorgeous photos Nancy. That Hummingbird photo is terrific. And I love my coffee white and sweet. 🙂
I am so happy you enjoyed the back yard photos. I have just returned from a long cruise to Europe. Hope all is well with you.
I thought you might have been on a holiday and I can’t wait to hear all about it. Can you believe Dean and I are almost home now?
Wow!! Will he catching up with you soon!
Amazing, indeed, Nancy. Living in the Northeast, I so appreciate seeing what you have there. We’re getting nice here in Syracuse now, too, at last! And I can relate to the favorite coffee cup, indeed. It doesn’t matter the theme, just the feeling in the heart and the hands. <3
Hi Mr. Mark!! So glad you popped over to the desert! It took me a while to get back to you as I was on a cruise. Hope all is good with you!
I hope you guys had a great time on the cruise, Nancy. They are very relaxing, right? 😉
Indeed!
Your garden is so lovely, and I bet it truly is a great place to sit, watch the birds, and enjoy a cup of coffee. 🙂
It is indeed! Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Lovely post – coffee, birds and beautiful back yard – that’s perfect to start a day 🙂 Have a wonderful week, Nancy!
Thank You Indah! I actually had a terrific month! I was on a fabulous cruise!
Love your pergola AND your hummingbird shot. Nice job!
Thank you so much! Sweet , sweet man built the Pergola!
Hummingbirds are such amazing creatures.
Almost mythical!
They are unbelievable to watch them fly back and forth and all around.
So I am clearly very late for coffee….love the photos and a very cool mug….!!! We, too have been enjoying our back yard and watching the humming birds, quail and various other birds nesting. Just had two morning doves kick a little one out of the nest Saturday….poor thing got as far as the outside ledge of my office window…mom and dad worked for a couple of hours with the you one to get it to fly…finally took off…hope all is well with you on this very windy day!!
Hi Kirt! I too am a little late getting back to you. I was away on a cruise! I will be posting about it soon!
Thank you for stopping by and u hope your baby bird is doing well.
