My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Yesterday morning, as I opened the windows in my apartment and felt how cool and breezy it was outside, I instantly remembered WHY I love this time of the year so much.
It is at this time, when I can begin to feel the subtle changes in the season as we begin to move into Fall.
Alleluia!
Sunday was absolutely glorious.
The sky was bright blue; void of any clouds. The sun shined brightly, yet there was not a single trace of heat or humidity in the air. And the best part, was that the temperature was only a mere 71 degrees, which made the breeze feel like I was experiencing my own version of heaven on earth.
Fortunately I had the day off, so I walked to a nearby park and sat on a blanket under my favorite tree while listening to soothing music coming from my CD player; sipping a tall Starbucks coffee.
I watched, as everyone around me seemed to experience the same sense of euphoria, as they walked their dogs, played Frisbee, and laid in the cool grass; simply reveling in the day.
It was as if there was a contagious soon-to-be-Fall energy that was being passed around by everyone in the park, connecting us all to the same feeling of relaxed excitement.
Normally in a city, people will very rarely make eye contact because they’re too busy talking on their cell phones or text messaging to even notice anyone around them. However, on this day total strangers where actually looking at one another and saying, “Hello.”
Everyone had a huge smile on their face.
Including the dogs.
Which reminds me…..
….about an hour after sitting under my favorite tree and enjoying the day, I noticed a woman walking her ADORABLE dog on a leash. The dog was obviously sniffing for a place to relieve itself, when suddenly he found the perfect spot, which was about three feet from my blanket. I watched, as he squatted; leaving a lovely little POOP right in front of me. He then did what many males dogs do, by kicking up the grass with his hind legs, as if making martial art moves like Bruce Lee.
And take a guess where all that grass landed?
Yup…....
Oh, what a glorious Sunday in the park with George!
