I came in here after my coffee and starting to feel okay, this is fine now! Your timing is chef's kiss.

Perkatory.
It's real!!!!!

Lady M said...

I love my morning cuppa!

Val Ewing said...

Even though I only drink decafe, I still need my coffee in the morning!

Coffee outside at sunrise ♥

I miss that happy little, soft-spoken painter Bob Ross. Labeled a hack by some and a genius by others, his paintings and his technique were amazing to watch as they appeared on canvas in such a short time.

Coffee. The very lifeblood of modern existence.

Hello Debra, That blue frogfish could get his fix by jumping into that fishbowl of coffee, although since they are mostly tropical it might not enjoy the temperature. Thanks to you, I just spent an enjoyable half hour reading about the amazing frogfish family in Wikipedia. Apparently, images like the above are color-enhanced, but frogfish are interesting and colorful enough all on their own. Fortunately, while some special are endangered, many are not--let hope collectors stay away from them:

I don't drink coffee but I know people love it:)

Cleora Borealis said...

🤔 Not really on-topic, but a very good reason for lots of coffee today:

Speaking of the horribly incompetent Trump administration, does it bother anyone else that poor planning put 7 of the top 8 officials in the Presidential line of succession in the same rather poorly-secured room last night? A more effective assassin could have left us with 92 y.o. President Chuck Grassley this morning! 😬

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- I had no idea what kind of creature that is, so thanks for the info. You are always a fount of knowledge!

@ Cleora Borealis -- Keystone Kops!

Your post reminded me of my friend (86) who died two weeks ago. I would always send her good morning pics like these. She loved getting them, and she didn't know that I scheduled them ahead of time (she wasn't very techy), sometimes for months, if I was going away. And she was a huge, very good, Scrabble player.

RedPat said...

I don't drink coffee but it does smell good.

Duni said...

These are cute! I love the smell of coffee, but don't drink it. I feel the same about tea :)

sirkkis said...

... keep calm and make it 💪 is my motto 😆

Moving with Mitchell said...

I’m stuck with decaf now and I sure do miss my morning jolt.

Rade said...

LOVE THESE!!! (and grabbed a few!) R

DB Stewart said...

I firmly believe Bob Ross would endorse that last one, ha.

Tom said...

...somehow I start my days without coffee!

Mistress Maddie said...

Coffee. As Martha Stewert says, It's a good thing.

Mike said...

No coffee here either. And I don't like the smell. I'm on the bottom rung of coffee drinkers. I don't even like to type the word!

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear Debra, the first image with the cat has me laughing!!! Thank you so much, dear friend, I love it!

Fundy Blue said...

Just hook up a coffee filled IV! 😂

Frank said...

I had a relatively mild case of Covid a couple of years ago (despite the up to date vaccine) and coffee now just doesn’t taste right. But I still have my morning cup.

Anonymous said...

Le café fait tourner le monde, surtout avec une ou deux doses de whisky à la crème. Un autre favori est le café à la noisette avec du chocolat, très délicieux!

Jamie Ghione said...

I must confess--I don't like coffee. Soda with caffeine is my thing.

Ur-spo said...

drink tea

Kirk said...

What is that sea creature?! I've never seen anything like it!

Bea said...

I'm a two-cup when I wake up kinda gal. This resonates. :)

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Kirk -- According to Parnassus (Jim)'s earlier comment, it is a Blue Frogfish. I was mystified too.

angela said...

Because of my chronic insomnia lately, I’ve stopped drinking the magical brew
It’s not helped my insomnia but it has made me grumpy and argumentative
Just ask my husband lol

roentare said...

I haven't had my coffee fix all day. Feeling exactly that

River said...

That's a reasonably sized iced coffee? Yikes! I honestly don't know how Americans can drink coffee all day long and not be bug-eyed and jittery from it all.

whkattk said...

I can NOT wait for a pot... The Keurig is my go-to. 45 seconds and voila!

Linda Sue said...

Coffee is health food- any good Scandinavian knows that. I have been drinking coffee since the age of six- I was rather hoping that it might turn my skin brown but that has not worked out.

DVArtist said...

These are all great. I'm no supposed to drink coffee, but I have to have some to get me going in the morning.

baili said...

I enjoyed each thoroughly dear Debra as it’s my favourite topic 😂

Before coffee is awesome 😄
Many thanks for smiles and laughter ♥️🙏

Mary Kirkland said...

I mostly drink tea but I do have coffee every once in a while.

dee said...

That's a cool collection! :D <3
Coffee cheers, Debra. :)

Guillaume said...

I hate coffee.

My name is Erika. said...

This is one giant iced coffee. I hope it's decaffeinated. :)

CaptainKirt said...

Never coffee for me, tea all the way.

Keep Calm and Make it Strong is my Go-To
