Maybe "Simple Pleasures" should have been the name of my blog. I'm certain I've used that title before. So, today in my list of simple pleasures, the first that comes to mind is a few spare moments between Jason heading out to the soccer game with friends and me getting started on flowers for a wedding Alyse and I have scheduled on Saturday. We were outside Kell's house, and I laid on the ground looking up at him and just chatting about the day. He took the opportunity to pull long stems of grass and aim them in my general direction. I don't know why, I just found it funny.
Second, was when my neighbor's dog spotted me in the newly tilled pumpkin patch and ran over full speed, around the corner of the property and up the drive just to wag hi. She also gave Kendra and I a good excuse to stop and visit with each other. Sometimes distractions are really blessings, you just have to be ready to accept them. Tonight, I was. :)
I also got to water the flowers in the garden and visit with my friend Jeff on the phone. He's always good for a laugh and/or general harassment that makes me laugh!
Then my friend Alyse came over to help get started on the flowers. Mostly we just laughed and talked and learned more about each other, as we always do. I'm sure I'll have some pics to post at least by this weekend. Maybe we'll even have some to post tomorrow.
So, it's interesting, the best parts of my day were all neatly contained between 5:00 and 11:00. Once again I find myself thinking of how lucky I am to be surrounded by such wonderful people, that call me friend.
And I thought this post was going to be all about the new pumpkin patch. My mind, has a mind of it's own! :)
