Welcome to my garden. Come in, take off your shoes, and let me offer you a seat in the shade, a cool drink, and friendly conversation while we enjoy the beauty of the day...
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Kahlil Gibran

Perfect
That's what some days are. Just perfect. I have been feeling marginally better, and today we had a "family day" at my parent's house. My grandmother and brother both came over for a cookout and we just hung out in the yard all day. At dusk we lit a fire in the new firepit and relaxed, toasting some marshmallows. I got to eat the first snap peas out of the garden, and picked a yellow summer squash to eat tomorrow. Good food, family, beautiful day. It all added up to total perfection. We have been trying to do this every saturday I have off, but it has been a while since we had to re-do the firepit and then a series of unforseen incidents kept us from following through. I am totally recommitted to this after how great today was. I feel refreshed and relaxed. I know my parents really enjoyed it as well. I am so lucky to be able to do this with my family!
