This was Sunday as it should be -- glorious outside with a high
blue sky -- the backyard maples totally blocking off the view of
the houses beyond, swallows and small yellow birds swooping.
We had every meal staring at the world as we sat on our shady
back porch. We let the yowling Siamese, Fiona have a walk
in the backyard, and allowed Timbah to sit on our knees and
smell the air -- fragrant with mown grass and lilac -- oh delicious
day.
Fiona in the forget-me-nots
bedside table are in a straight up and downish, old hotel
cream jug. Much more masculine and constrained, which
is a funny way to describe pansies, rich, feminine flowers
that they are... but the container just is more guy.
Have a miraculous-Monday-day.
