A spider is crawling along the edge of my table outside and it is so pretty. It has yellow accent stripes on it’s small back and they accent the shape of it’s body. I wonder if it is a boy or a girl?
Sun is shining on my roof but the deck is still in shade and a warm breeze blows lightly kissing the tree tops. I’m awaiting the arrival of the bees on the giant shrubs that hang over my back fence. They are usually here by now when the sun hits them and I’m worried they won’t show up this year. Tiny little bees sucking the nectar of the tiny white flowers that these shrubs produce in mass. It’s been a cooler than normal spring and the cold upwelling of the ocean is not helping matters. But the food rich upwelling is wonderful for all the sea life so I won’t complain.
I’m wearing my soft new cotton jersey blend pjs and they remind me of spring too. Blue and green patterns swirling around my legs make it look like they could sprout a flower at any moment.
Black birds caw in the background and I can hear a car drive by and a plane overhead. It is a glorious morning to be alive. I can’t decide which to do first – work on the irrigation or work on the ditch? Repot plants or dig up the yard and put down mulch? Or maybe just sit outside and read a book? It’s Sunday after all and I want to savor the day to it’s fullest. Maybe I could work on my book for a few minutes and see what it brings forward. It’s such a lovely morning to be creative.
The sun warms the back of my chair and when I lean back I can see it peeking over the tree top. It will start to shine on the deck any minute and warm the tomato plant hanging upside down in it’s new planter hanging from a tree.
This is one of my favorite times of year when I can sit outside on the deck in the morning sun and contemplate my day.
