The dogs seemed eager to begin their day a bit earlier, and so I found myself letting them out at 6:30 AM. After they sauntered back in side, I returned upstairs for a few more hours of sleep. By 11 AM I was reading mowing the backyard, thanks to the rain of this week, and then proceeded to the front yard to clean it up. I have no desire to do any more yardwork the remainder of the weekend.

For the past 90 minutes, I’ve been seated on the deck, shaded from the sun by a large umbrella above the table, and enjoying all the sounds of the backyard. The decks rail is lined with multiple flowerpots offering different variations from light pink to bright lipstick pink.

Flyer join us on the deck for a while but returned inside. Not in chief are lying side-by-side on the deck and will probably continue to do so until I get up to move.

And that may not be for quite a while. I am thoroughly enjoying this quiet time and the gentle, cool breeze swirling around trees, buildings, and fences.

This is my day.
