Day 7 - 145 -- Trip to the past

Another bright sunny day arrived today. It was warm but not too hot, so comfortable when outside. I spent the day working inside and outside. I re-potted chives for back porch containers. They should grow well and already smell so good. I scrubbed bird droppings off the front porch and then washed the white sploches off the charcoal-coloured car. This is the never-ending price of having song birds in the trees, I guess. <smile> Inside, I finished laundry and made the last (hopefully) changes to slides for Wednesday presentation. They are set for the dry run through tomorrow, though. I tried to order a couple of items that seem to have been on everyone else's lists, so are currently out of stock -- temporarily. Just when they'd be back in stock and available to order remains unclear. The daily walk was later than usual, but the sun remains in the sky longer these days. Supper was very late, but everything was behind schedule for some reason today <smile>.

Working inside and particularly outside today, reminded me so much of a weekend day at home when I was growing up. I'd work with my dad in the garden and help clean the porch and patio. A sense of accomplishment came along with the energy expended. The collaborative effort felt good and still brings a warm, calm feeling. Now if only someone had the barbecue fired up and ready to go <smile>. A song by a Canadian brother and sister duo came to mind to share here. I heard this sometime in the past couple of weeks on the morning show. The video has the ubiquitous home movies included -- if not into those, just listen to the song or move past the intro of kids playing. <smile> I love the sentiment in the lyrics -- it is where my mind went this afternoon.  Stay safe. Enjoy!
