Sleepy Saturday

It's so quiet in the hood this morning. Love it. The TV is on, low and soft, offering various PBS travel programs. The windows and back door are open, letting in the fresh morning air. The toads are eating the leftover cat food by the back steps. My dogs are sleeping on the floor near me. My nomadic cats are who knows where. The sun is lighting up the sky but not yet baking the earth. I have eaten toast for breakfast, enough to fill me and give me energy for the day. The fans are rhythmically whirring, circulating the interior air. This is one of those perfect moments in life when just being is beautiful.
