Backyard

I am totally alone on a Saturday morning..................and love it!!! E. spent the night out, T. had a lacrosse fundraiser to help with and Chris took J. to his football game..........in Greene County half an hour away at 7AM.....ugh!!! I begged out.............Last night impromptu, I had 4 friends over to drink wine outside...........we laughed and had a ball....should do that more often.....great women, but during the conversation it came out they are all 50 or older................life is flying by! This morning I went to get my Shenandoah Joe's coffee and J's spudnuts for after his game...........and so enjoyed the quiet............and then to come home to a CLEAN and quiet house???? Unbelievable....Went in the backyard...........cloudy and muggy here...........hate this time of year in Virginia..........but my ferns are loving it!!!! For 20 years I have looked at my ferns in Sept. and thought they are so beautiful, I'll keep them all year............and then in March I have to throw them away......................I tell myself that I won't do it again, but then they are so beautiful and big right now, I fall for the same lie every year.....I love the black eyed susan vine around Chris' pond...........helps cover up all the rock.................and then Chris brought home these flowers from Whole Foods for just $8.00............the perfect addition to a clean kitchen............I give all this clean good feeling till.........................4:00 this afternoon......................
