sun days

we brought one last load of firewood inside for it only to sit on our hearth. it seems the final blow of Winter came and went. although, i'm quietly wondering if it will remind us once more, that it is not, in fact, Spring yet.

nonetheless, the past days have not been made for indoors and hovering over a computer. i feel so for the ones who's job requires such.

the sun has been high, the clouds few and the air warm. and open windows with blowing curtains, while nice, have only served to call us closer... to be part of the beauty rather than only spectators.

not having had any snow days this winter, a dear friend proclaimed today a "sun day". i thought this a grand idea, and much needed break. so, a sun day it was, and so it will be called from here on. i caught some glimpses of a sun day last week... though at that time, it had no name.

a sun day, i found, is a day where children pretend, drain ditches become half pikes and much loved stuffed animals take on human feats, dogs sunbathe, and Mommas smile, laughing and breathing in all that is good.

sun days are really good days.
