There's always one day each fall that feels like the day I've been waiting for all year. Today was the day. The weather was perfect. The sky was a cloudless blue, the slant of the light painterly. The sun was gentle, the breeze soft and refreshing. I opened windows in the house, had my coffee on the deck this morning, did my grocery shopping early, and potted some pansies.
I debated about cleaning house this afternoon or going for a walk with my dog. The walk won. We went to Arrowhead Point on Lake Belton. I'm so glad that I took this time and enjoyed the golden afternoon. It was restorative.
The dust can wait.
