I love days like today. Well, I love the weather on days like today. Nothing else about today was particularly lovely, but I worked from home with the windows open - cool air and sunshine.
Delta (my cat) seemed to really enjoy the open window, intensely watching squirrels and chattering maniacally at a fly that dared buzz around on the screen. To be honest, I watched that part anxiously. I was convinced she would jump and destroy the screen. The danger has passed, and now she stares at me from the top perch of her hideous cat condo, one paw luxuriously outstretched. (What we do for our fur-babies)
At one point, when I stood outside on the patio, the sun was hot and the breeze was cool and I just wanted to stand there. I could have been rooted to that spot, eyes closed, all morning. I wish I had brought my computer outside. I've resisted the urge to put on a jacket, so my arms are quite chilly without the sun and I have ice cubes for toes. I wish I were apple picking or picking out a pumpkin to carve. It is the perfect day for it.
I read something that makes me cry. They aren't sad or happy tears, good or bad. They just are. Like standing outside in the sun feeling the heat and the chill at the same time. As the angle of the sun in the window deepens, soon I will have to get up, close the window and dig out a sweater.
I hope tomorrow will be sunny.
