Up late at night, tennis in the morning early. Always look forward to my tennis days. It is a lovely setting at at Brookfield. Used to be the country. Now there are just a few too many cars going past. However, when there are no cars, we still enjoy the silence...and the birds. It is a time when I feel most creative, and often find myself standing there dreaming away, enjoying the day, and planning my latest patchwork project, and end up forgetting the score, or not quite ready for the latest backhand whizzing past. oops..
