A Good Day

Today was what you would call a good day.

Not that other recent days have been bad, but today was just good.

After a few hours of work where my last day as a nurse analyst was chosen, I met the brunettes at the coffee shop for a few hours of photo class.

After photos, chatting, and cold coffee drinks, I pulled into the yard to find the perfect opportunity for some depth of field homework. I call this series "Twins."

Then I walked in the house to see the husband vacuuming the entire main floor, the kids quietly playing Legos, and our favorite William Joseph mix tinkling over the speakers in the living room.  And I'm not even joking.

We spent the rest of the afternoon outside admiring the first sunflower blooms, picking the first 2 ripe tomatoes, and putzing around in flower beds.

While beets cooked on the stove, we shucked sweet corn, and sliced cucumbers for supper.

We relished our supper of garden produce and a succulent pork roast, the kids asking for more beets (yes, really), and all of us ooohing and ahhhing over the sweet corn from Nanna and Poppa.

It almost sounds like a dream doesn't it? But it really all happened just this way.
