Productive day

Today was a day of sunshine and blue skies. It felt more like spring than the middle of winter. Even the birdsongs were reminiscent of warmer weather.
I decided to extend my walk this morning and I came across some beauty berries at the trunk of a hickory. I had to scoot through some underbrush to get a decent shot.
Later, Jilda and I did a few remaining housekeeping chores to get ready for our company this afternoon. Around 1 p.m. I stepped out onto the deck and sat for a long while. After the coldest weather in nineteen years, the sun felt good on my face.
We both realized before our songwriting buddies came that we hadn't written a new song this month. We'd told them all last meeting that we planned to have a new one and I really wanted to have one to play.
I keep a list of melody ideas on my iPhone, so I started clicking through them to see if anything might work.
Jilda heard one I'd recorded a few years ago and liked it. Less than an hour later, we completed a song. Usually after we finish a new song I immediately start picking it apart trying to eliminate weak lines and tweaking the melody.
But when we finished this one, we both high-fived. Even after playing it in front of the group, I still think it's one of the strongest songs we've written in some time.
We plan to lay down a decent recording of it within the next few weeks and when we do I'll post it.
I hope you all have a fun and productive week.
