The Joys of Suburbia
Sometimes owning a house is a pain, but sometimes it's great. The time we spent on maintenance this weekend was draining--but I've been enjoying our flowers. In our back yard, we have a profusion of violets, unplanned and beautiful.
This afternoon, I sat outside on our swing and read my book club book (The Other Boleyn Girl). Birds sang, a breeze blew, and I slowly rocked back and forth. The sky was bright blue.
While the baby napped, I enjoyed being able to spend time outside in my own little corner of the world.

Tess--You've inspired me to start carrying my camera around. I've been meaning to take pictures of the tree flowering in front of my house...of the orioles that I see on my drive to work every day...lots of things I keep meaning to capture. I just have to remember to do it.
You'll have to do a review of The Other Boleyn Girl and we can compare notes. I'm on The Awakening right now. And yes - isn't it fun to be self-centered (not in the egotism sense but in the "present moment" sense) for just a little bit? Sunshines and spring tends to do that to me.
