Yesterday was as close to a perfect day as one could ask for. It was hot and sunny, I had no big plans, and I didn't have to go anywhere. It was a day off. A day where nothing was pressing, and I could choose to do with it as I pleased.
So, I did these things: I made the Las Vegas blog post (which took a long time because I couldn't find the photos at first). I planted four planters with wildflower seeds, I washed my car and I made a great tuna salad. I chatted with friends on Facebook. I chopped up and dehydrated strawberries, mushrooms, blueberries and celery. I sat out in the hot sun, letting the lemon juice lighten my hair, and I began reading two books (I talk about one of them in the post below, and the other is an old favorite, Mauve Benchy's Copper Beech).
I watched a good game of baseball that lasted 13 innings: The Mariners and The Cubbies. And my husband came home early from his day of putting out fires to join me. The Mariners lost, but it was a fun game to watch.
I also started getting things ready to sew. FINALLY!!! The little things pictured above will be beanbags. Easy and fun to make. I sewed the buttons on them last night. I am going to start with making toys, dolls and kids games. Unless I change my mind and make some bags and baby blankets. Or decide to make some "corn bags" (hot and cold packs). It doesn't matter to me, as long and I am actually sewing something. I will go with the flow.
Today I will enter the real world and stop by and help Cary with what he needs, but yesterday was like a day of rest ... kind of like a Sabbath day. I am grateful that I had the chance to relax and only do the things that appealed to me. Reading over this, it seems like I did get lot done, but it was done at a leisurely pace and was of free will. If only all days could be like that!
