breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the deck - all spent watching the bluebird couple build their nest

this time to watch the sun rise instead of set
with oj instead of wine
the colors expanding from the horizon
not deep orange and dusky blue
but gentle pink and pastels
the entire spectrum of the rainbow

celebrating the first day of spring with a hike and, later, rolling down the hill in the backyard

chess and knitting inside

to watch the sunset

plus a hot stone massage to celebrate that my super-stressful work project is finally DONE
