I wish you could smell them!

Next to the sublime pleasure of drinking coffee, the next best thing
is smelling coffee. I love to buy the beans and grind them myself,
which becomes another of life's little rituals that bind a life together.
In this day of instant this, and instant that, nothing can take the
place of freshly home ground, home brewed coffee. Nothing.

Especially in the quiet hours of the morning, taken outside to be sipped,
before the hustle and bustle of the day is upon me.
