Oh what a beautiful day……

Yesterday and today were so lovely!!! Yeah, today had some periods of heavy cloud cover, but I still so enjoyed the weather both days!

I grew up just off one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario, where there is almost always a really nice breeze (I won’t go into what I think of that breeze during the winters and that wind brings in major lake effect snow…)! I love feeling the wind on my face and the smell of a fresh breeze. So – the breezy days we’ve had this week were so welcoming to me! I wanted to just stay outside and soak it all in! And the temperatures were really quite pleasant, too!

But the icing on the cake was at lunch time today — I went out for lunch to run some really fast errands (I made a quick stop at All Animals to buy some food for the girls, popped into the post office to get some stamps and mail a couple letters, and grabbed the sub I called in an order for from Lil Dino’s to take back and eat at my desk) — as I was walking from the car back in to my office, I walked slowly to enjoy the breeze as long as I could. I looked up at the sky and it was the most breathtaking shade of blue with dabs of bright white cotton-like patches strategically placed for maximum effect and beauty…………I stopped and stared into the sky, feeling the strong breeze on my face and thought “man, I need to be home on my patio napping in my hammock – not going back in to work!” But, unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with a valid reason to tell my boss I needed to leave for the rest of the day…….not that I actually considered it, you know! ha-ha

So, I went in, ate my sub while I reviewed some documents and worked on a spreadsheet, and finished out the rest of the day…….but, luckily, our campus is spread out over multiple buildings and office trailers so I get to walk outside to get from one meeting to another or to take care of various business and take advantage of these beautiful days. Of course, that’s a real drag when it’s raining or cold or super hot……….but, I’ll consider it a benefit for now!
