Throughout my life I’ve had a fantasy about Sundays that they should be relaxing. The day when you can stay home and read, or go to lunch and have a glass of white wine (for some reason it’s always white wine) or just lounge around in the sun like a cat. For most of my life I’ve worked on the weekends and when I wasn’t working I was too anxious to just relax in my own home.
But today was as close to that fantasy as I’ve ever come. I slept late, read my book in bed, sat in the sun with Jon, the donkeys, cats and chickens, had lunch on the road from the Co-op in Cambridge (no white wine), and visited Gretchen’s new litter of puppies. Not the Sunday I fantasized about, but a lovely one that I never even imagined. I’ve heard that a person has to be able to imagine something before it can happen. Perhaps one day I’ll get my Fantasy Sunday, but I’m grateful for today and that I kept open the possibility of what could happen.
Those are cute shoes!
Oh, us shoe people Pat.
Hi Maria – too cute ( the puppy). No offense to Jon.
My daughter & I also had lunch in Cambridge today. Sitting outside of the Farmer’s Market , we dined on
Mac & Cheese in the company of our 2 Labs, Choco & Grace.
p.s. they sell wine.
Ah Mary, next time.
Both your “Fantasy Sunday” and the Sunday that actually happened, sound great to me! I think you may have gotten the best of both worlds.
Irresistible pup!! Jon looks happy, too!!
The spider seems to be a recurring theme. Emily Dickinson wrote a poem about The Spider As An Artist. Gotta love Emily.
I don’t know that one Fran, I’ll have to look it up.
Your shoes remind me of the phrase “There is no place like home.” Really enjoy the nice photo of Jon holding the adorable puppy.
Yeah!
I’ve always thought of spiders as magical, but my wife catches them, and re-homes them outside. I do not ever kill spiders, not anymore.
You’re a good man Jon
Were you able to relocate the web somehow?
No Cindy, but the spider went outside.
I love that photo and the title, A Spider Made a Web Between My Shoes Last Night. It sounds like the beginning of a mystical trip!
oh it does! Good way to start a streaming pillow. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Mary. (you’re so good at that!)
