A Beautiful Day


Start with a cool bedroom and warm blankets. A good night's snuggly sleep after an open-air free concert within walking distance of home. Wake up to bright sun and blue skies. A farmer's market full of yummy produce, and a little discussion with a farmer about the wonderful quality of their summer squash- in October!
Come home to get necessities at the regular market. Put away the car for the day. Second breakfast at the local cafe, with wonderful tea. Walk to a few yard sales, enjoying the cool air and warm sunshine. Barefoot housework listening to fall football, dust- mopping wood floors to a shine. Walk to the hardware store with loving spouse for some wire. Return for bean picking, watering, football and dinner- chicken, green beans with red potatoes, stewed pears, cole slaw. More housework, then another pleasant sleep. simple life is certainly a lot of work! But it is worth it.
