It's nearing bedtime and I still have a few chores to attend to before I head upstairs for the night. But I cannot let this day close without documenting it's wonderfulness. In my past life as a full-time employee in a big city with a long commute and a crowded apartment, I dreamed of days like today.
An easy morning planting my garden with my children. A trip downtown to paint pottery and eat ice cream for lunch. Cuddling. Play dough. Playing with - and putting away! - dad's handmade blocks. This afternoon we made the easiest, tastiest banana bread and ate BLTs for dinner. A chipmunk has taken up residence in our yard and we fed him peanuts. My oldest child tied a peanut to a piece of string and hung it in a tree. I'm unsure whether it's a trap or a treat for our woodland friend.
If a few similar days could follow today...well, I don't think my toes would touch the ground all weekend. Happy Tuesday, indeed.
