Thursday 13: Easy to Love

I had an almost perfect day today. This occurs no more than once every six months--a rare event when I am caught up, no work, the sun is shining, and I have no pressing chores to juggle.
.
I spent this almost perfect day with a hoe, rake and tablespoon. I turned the soil over in the little garden beside the driveway, cleaned up the weeds and deadwood, planted five dahlia bulbs, and laid out two rows of green beans. The result is simply that the garden now looks tended to and not neglected.
.
I love my yard. It is too big for me to keep up with so I tackle only a section at a time, and that is fine with me. I love this time of year: soon the yard will become another room in the house and I will be out there watching the grass grow and thinking some big and some little thoughts.
.
I am going to publish the story of Alex and Lily. If I don't get picked up by a publisher, I will self publish. The path seems pretty clear--I'm surprised at that--so once I finish the book, now within a week or two or three--I know what I'll do first, and second, and third.
.
I like being back to work. I like my clients. I like the flexibility of not being in an office.
.
This should be a Thursday 13, but it isn't......

  1. but tomorrow...?

    What a pleasant day you have had KJ, do you use a knee kneeler when spooning? HAHHHAAA oops, that doesn't sound right.

    Self Publishing has sounded the 'go' for quite some time.

    I had forgotten you've started a new job and hope your knee has recovered perfectly :)

  4. Hooray for getting back into the soil again, KJ! I know how long you've been dreaming of it, and I'm so glad it was a nearly perfect day! Those types of days are good for the heart. :)
