John Denver said it best with the song, Some Days Are Diamonds, Some Days Are Stone. Today was definitely a diamond.It was our buddy Fred's 57th birthday. When we called him earlier in the week to ask if he was doing anything special for his birthday, he said no. So obviously we invited him over today to celebrate.
The day was another beautiful spring day. It's like the spring days I remember as a kid where the wind is chilly but the sun is warm.
Jilda and I headed out just before lunch to buy the fixings for dinner this evening. We passed this pond and I swerved to the side of the road to snap a picture.
When our guests arrived, we fired up the grill and burned steaks while Jilda whipped up Black Forrest Trifle for dessert.
We had Celtic music on the stereo as we broke bread togeather. We sat for a long while talking, remembering, and laughing.
Before dark, we walked down the barn looking for a place to do some music videos in the future.
Tonight, as we cleaned the kitchen and got ready to wind down, I looked to Jilda and said, today was a diamond.

I think the reason you have so many close friends is because you two are such good friends to THEM!!
ReplyDeleteBreaking bread together with friends. Priceless. So nice to see your wonderful spring day! Here our diamonds are in still in the form of snow.
