PERFECT DAY
This was one of those perfect days that come in Spring. After Kay left for school, I walked through the park. The weather was exactly right. About 40 degrees, sunny with just enough breeze to invigorate. God and I had a wonderful discussion about joy and peace. Not surprisingly, he agreed with most of my ideas.
When I got home, I dragged the dahlias out of the cellar and planted them in the back garden, cleaned up some furniture, made a gigantic cup of Decafe coffee and sat by the waterfall. As long as I remained motionless, the birds came for their baths without seeming to mind my intrusion.
Later in the day, Bob Shields and I walked Chenango Street looking for places we could put trees. We found a surprising number of locations and everyone we spoke to seemed amenable to the idea.
By five, Kay was home and we had our first wine tasting by the stream. I started a charcoal fire, ( I must have been a pyromaniac in a past life) and we had our first BarbyQ of the season. Of course this included eating on the porch. After supper, we sat on the porch and planned out the lesson for Church on Sunday and for the Zoo on Saturday. Shortly I will retire to bed and start a new book in the Sharing Knife series, something I have fondly awaited for a year.
