Enjoy this day...

Images Spectacular day today.  Raked leaves until the cows came home with intermittent moments of simply lying under the apple tree and soaking up some much needed Vitamin D.  Finished up with a pipe on the deck.  Is there a better season to smell pipe tobacco than the fall?  Glorious Day.  Moving into reading on the couch as the next phase.  Life doesn't get much better than a little John Updike after some outdoor body work.  Hope your Sunday has been as wonderful. Be well.  Enjoy this day.

It's funny how one bit of text can make you think as you take a deep breath and see a bunch of nice things around you.

And how another bit of text can remind you of all the bitterness and petty envy you have encountered at various times.

We are curious creatures indeed.

I had a fabulous day too. I spent it in a dingy bar reading Barbara Eherenreich's 'Bright-Sided:How The Relentless Promotion Of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America'.

I highly recommend it. But only if you cling to certain outmoded concepts like We Have No Business In Afghanistan or Why You Should Never Miss A Meeting Of Your Town Council or Rotary Is A Cult -Not A Service Club.

While the theraputic value of leaf raking is well documented and cannot be denied, the carpet of leaves you seek to re-arrange will wait. Other carpets are being pulled out from under you as we speak.
