one of those days...

 Do you remember, when you were very young, long lazy days during summer vacation?  Those days when school was out and it seemed like summer would go on forever?  You could lie on the grass and watch the clouds form and re-form pictures of fantastical beasts and pirate ships or rocket ships or whatever. 

When you get to be an adult those lazy days are much harder to come by.  Even when, like me and my wonder spouse, you're retired, stuff like doctors' appointments, necessary shopping trips (groceries are important), and volunteer work tend to fill up at least part of every day.

But today, thanks to a series of pleasant coincidences, was one of those lazy days for me.  

After weeks of below freezing temperatures, the sun is blazing down from a clear blue sky, the temperature has soared to over 40 degrees, snow has disappeared from the streets and sidewalks (although it does still cover the grass) and I have had nothing to do that must be done today. I did walk out to get the mail and was able to breathe deeply without feeling my lungs freeze up.  

I have read a book and worked on a stitchery, but only because I wanted to.  A lazy day for sure and I am loving every minute of it. Is it possible that I have early onset spring fever???
