What a perfect day! Katie and I spent most of the day outside (which isn't easy with her weird diet every four hours and the round-the-clock med's routine she's on.) My flower beds were all prepped over the weekend and we had stopped at Sierra Nursery on our way home yesterday. Today we filled one set of flower beds with 4 dozen impatiens and a smaller porch box with a dozen pansies. We placed a couple of shrubs by the fence to see if that's where I'll want them, and looked around the front yard and felt pretty proud of ourselves. After lunch we took a short walk and then Miss Kate headed for her den, apparently feeling she'd earned an afternoon nap.
Any excuse to stay outside and enjoy the sun, I cleaned and refilled the various bird feeders. Now, as evening's coming on, the birds are heading to their nests, the critters to their favorite dinner spots (Note to deer - the impatiens are not on the menu!)and then on to wherever they call home at night. The two-legged critters (neighbors) will begin to head up the road soon to their homes and their dinners. While I wait, I think I'll sit back in my front porch rocker and start my new book and then take in the view and watch the world as everyone and everything heads home. To borrow from and paraphrase Oliver Twist, "Please Sir, tomorrow may I have another?"
