You Know It Was A Good Day ...
There's just something energizing about having a day off when the majority of the rest of the world has to be at work.
So was the case yesterday, as I celebrated observed Columbus day. Taking the opportunity to bask in the warm weather, something that is fleeting here in our northern clime, and get in a little fall gardening.
I pulled up the green bean bushes, picked the rest of the ripe cayenne peppers and Roma tomatoes, pulled up my green onions, which I really haven't eaten much of this season, trimmed up the cone flowers, lilies, and chives, and then put down a nice bed of mulched leaves and grass collected from the mower.
After cleaning up the garden shed and putting away the various pool equipment, there was just enough light to sit back and relax as the sun began to make its descent toward the horizon. I looked out over the backyard, a feeling of a good days work washing over me as I contemplated how nice it was to have the day off - even if it is to honor someone who paved the way for the genocide of native Indians on the American continents. sigh
