Lollygagging

This week stretched on forever, but the weather was so beautiful, that I didn't mind being exhausted.
I have developped a lovely routine of coming home from school, fixing a light lunch (having just eaten a substantial, Kindergarten snack at 10:30 or so), and taking it out onto the patio with a book. I have a hearty collection of freckles and a rosy glow from these midday picnics.
This morning the sky was so overcast that I felt like I had accidentally set my alarm for some ungodly hour, but by the time I left school it was bright again and I looked blissfully forward to having nothing planned for the rest of the day. There are those who bore easily, but I am not among them. I can stare and daydream and doze for hours and feel as though it has been a very fruitful afternoon.
