Saturday is a day we treasure around here -- no school, woohoo!, Daddy's home, (more cheering), and if that's not enough -- the sun is shinning and it feels warm. It is not the crack of dawn but it is morning and I'm busy with inhouse work. (Emphasis on "in") I make special effort to bring the outdoors in -- the windows are open the curtains pulled back. I sneak a breath of fresh country air as I sneak out on the deck to shake a rug. The pull is so great I can hardly stand it. What couldn't wait until the sun is down to finish inside. The sun and warm has been long awaited ar0und here and I want to soak it up. I turn and go back indoors. I make beds, sweep floors, dust, catch a glimpse of Luck munching on grass -- the breeze blowing his mane and tail. I sigh and quicken the pace. Finally, the floors are clean, the toilet sparkling, the toys picked up. And, then it happens. Like horses out to pasture, like a dam breaking -- I am raptured to the outdoors to enjoy the heavenly oasis of my backyard. Warning; the fun seen in these pictures is bigger than appears! Hope you enjoyed your day, too. Sending you all some sunshine from our day.
