Rarely do we have an "unscheduled" Saturday. For two people who only work part-time, we seem to be busy. Having a Saturday not filled with stuff does not happen that often.
But today was a "free" Saturday. We slept until 7 a.m., drank coffee and read the morning paper. We walked the dogs and poked fun at all our busy friends.
I put on my grass-cutting hat, fired up the John Deere, and leisurely cut grass. I know most people think cutting grass is a chore, but to me it's therapeutic. After I mowed a while, I pulled under a shade, sipped on a Gatorade. Off in the distance, I could hear crows fussing about something.
Parking the mower in the barn, I walked back to the house. Inside the fence, I noticed the Honey Crisp Apple tree we planted a few years ago had its first bloom on it today. I didn't want that to go unacknowledged so I snapped a photo.
After a long nap, we went to the store an bought a bottle of wine and two ribeye steaks.
You can probably guess what we had for supper tonight.
Right now, I'm blissing out and there's a very good chance I'll turn in early tonight.

After my father retired he said 'I don't know how I ever found time to go to work'. I sneered but have often mentally apologised since I left paid employment. Life can get busy. Your day sounds lovely. Enjoy your early night.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need a slower pace just to take time to smell the apple blossoms. This morning while coming home from the barn, I took a little walk in the back yard and I saw some crocus ready to open up. It made my day.

A perfect day!!
ReplyDeleteIdyllic days are so few and far between. I'm happy you got this one.
ReplyDeleteI love those days where you can slow down, appreciate life, appreciate what you have - and even celebrate it - with wine, steaks or whatever. Sounds wonderful! Have a good week too!
ReplyDeleteWhen busy people have a free day it must be oh so relaxing and lovely
ReplyDeleteRough day, but you will survive.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good steak and a glass of wine.

Sounds like a beautiful day. Is that a dogwood in the picture?
