When I got up today I had a vague plan to take care of a couple of things for other folks and then come home and take care of myself. Turns out I got to spend the whole day taking care of myself. I sat out on the deck reading Stephen King’s “On Writing” (recommended by my awesome coach Marcia Hoeck).
I napped a little, snacked a little, went inside and got busy a little (only a little), then came back outside and sat in the sunshine again. I got a little sunburn (more on that in a later post) but the day was absolutely beautiful. Clear blue skies, warm sunshine, lightest of breezes.
Because of all the rain we’ve had this year, my backyard is looking lovely. The bougainvillea against the garage is heavy with red. At the back of the long lawn I have pale blue plumbago now cresting the top of the wall, orange, yellow and red nasturtium in abundance, and the purple sweet pea are now blooming. There’s blossom on the peach tree, the rock rose is flowering again and the two types of lavenders around the deck are thriving, and last but not least a whole bevy of California poppies. Spring in full throttle. Beautiful, peaceful and inspiring.
How is spring looking in your neck of the woods?
P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – a blog a day if I can.
