I'm sitting in Daddy's office. It's a plastic table, four outdoor chairs, and a hammock strung between two trees on the edge of a small calm lake. Woodpeckers, mockingbirds and wrens sing loud, drowning out the Canadian geese, our neighbors Jack, and the occasional chicken and dog. It's so pretty I could sit here and drink coffee all day, I think. But I have a lot to do today. And not all of it is unpleasant. This morning I have plants to get in the ground, some hybrid blackberries from a friend of mine, a couple of lilies from Easter. I have plants to get out of the ground, weeds and hedge shrubs in unwanted places. I have baking to do, clothes to wash and a house to clean. I have a fundraisers to attend at church and, sadly, visitation for the funeral for a dear high school friend.
Today will be full of hard work and ups and downs, like most days I think. But this on started out in my Daddy's office. That makes it a little better right off the bat to me.
