Spring is Really Here!

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

Yesterday, DH and DD went fishing. Yep...the boat officially hit the water for the first time this season. "Ice Out" isn't official yet, but it will be soon. Still, even though the Mount Washington may not be able to make its tour of the lake (which is how they determine Ice Out), a small boat CAN.

DH didn't catch anything, but my FIL did -- two big lake salmon. And he didn't want them, says they are too much trouble to cook. DH brought them home. I'm not usually a salmon fan -- but I've found that's because I don't like farm bred and ocean salmon. Lake salmon? A whole different ball of wax. It was, on the whole, a good start to fishing season.

And it was a beautiful day. Sunny. Warm (almost 70!!). A slight breeze. Ahhhhhh...

Dakota and I were home alone and it was lovely. I had a TON of work to do, but who can spend a day like that on the computer? So, I worked a bit, then took the dog for a LONG walk (and realized just how out of shape I truly am). Worked a little and then sat out on the front step and read. Worked a little and then weeded my little flower garden out front. Worked a little, then played ball with the dog.

What I like best about spending the day alone? No schedule. No one to consider before I act. I feel like walking? I walk. Feel like eating? I eat. Feel like dancing naked in my living room? ... Okay, I didn't do that. But I COULD HAVE. And that is very freeing. I really am a solitary person by nature, and spending my days and nights with people (even people I love) is very stressful.

It was a good day.

You?

==========================

You Are Dusk

You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube. Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.

Are You Dusk or Dawn?

Um... no. I'm in bed with the sun and up before it. Some of the other is true, but not the rest. I give this quiz a 50%.
