Slow Day, Good Day

It’s been one of those days that seems to last forever, but forever in a good way. Time is a strange thing; sometimes it’s slippery and slides away, while other days it’s thick as molasses. I don’t know why today has crept by so slowly, but it has, and it’s been really nice.

I worked from eight this morning until noon. Drove downtown, parked, and jogged out to Zilker Park to meet Connor and Co. The Co part today included mommy, and some friends. It was our first time to go to the kite festival. Unbelievable scene: 100,000 people easy, thousands of kites, bright sun shine, great wind for flying, music, food, sunburns, etc etc. We will make it a yearly tradition if we can keep our nerve to brave the crowds.

Then we headed to Whole Foods downtown for smoothies and lunch. From there it was back home, and I got to work on the flower beds. Talk about a project that has dragged on… but I’m taking my time and enjoying the work. I love home improvement!

 

 

Connor came out after a nap and we played outside for a couple hours. We went down to the pond behind the neighborhood where hundreds of birds and ducks come at night to eat and splash around. It was just us, the country, and the sunset. Connor sat with me and we just watched it all. Now THAT is the best stuff in the world, better than any money or cars or whatever.

He started getting real fussy when we got home. He’s a bit sunburned and super tired from this long lasting day. And it’s only 830pm, three hours until bed time. Guess it’s time to go hit up some Downton Abbey!
