The grill is lit.

I just read Gnightgirl’s weekend post. It was excellent reading about how nice her day was yesterday. It motivated me to stop and smell and listen. To appreciate today.

  • The grill is lit and we’re having a real summer meal – burgers, grilled asparagus, tomatoes.
  • The boys are out back on the hammock laughing and playing together.
  • The sun is shining and the wind is blowing gently.
  • The scent of the lilac bush near the back door fills the house.
  • There is a huge bucket of tulips on my kitchen island. In all different colors.
  • The kids worked on their book reports this morning, so we get to goof off this evening together.
  • We’re having strawberries for dessert. With sugar.
  • Andrew brought me an amazing glass of wine to sip while I’m blogging.
  • He took the boys to Over the Hedge this afternoon so I could finish some work for NCJW. I did. I finished.
  • Last night we went to a Frederick Keys game. It was a blast.
  • I love my life.

I hope your weekend was as nice as mine.

    I was just thinking today that my weekend was pretty boring but I guess that’s a good thing because nothing bad happened.

    Jackt – it was remarkable! I guess they DID learn something this year :)

    Junebee – Boring isn’t always a bad thing. Think of it as peaceful!

    GNG – yes, a wonderful day! The tulips are so amazing! 4 dozen of them…!

    Strawberries! Yummy. Nothing says summer louder than fresh strawberries. My favorite way to have them this time of year is mixed in a spinich salad with some balsamic vinegar….or over ice cream.
    Glad you had a great weekend.
