Another Welcome Sunny Afternoon


When we came out of church, that warm, earthy smell was in the air. Sunshine and a southern breeze beckoned, as did a forecasted high 20 degrees cooler tomorrow. We walked down to the local park to sit in the sun, reading. A percussionist band of adults provided free entertainment practicing under a tree, while deliriously happy dogs chased frisbees, balls, and each other across the open field. Humans were chasing footballs and soccer balls, too, with games intermingling and picnickers around the edges enjoying the fun. What a glorious afternoon. Now it is cloudy again, and the wind is shifting to come from the North, but we had a few hours of precious sunshine. Carpe diem.
