A Sparkling Day

It’s Saturday morning. The neighborhood is quiet; no traffic, no barking dogs. The air is delightfully fresh but without noticeable breezes. Tree shadows are blotches of shade without fluttering edges, an indication the day may become uncomfortably hot. The street has a manicured look with uniformly trimmed lawns.

Only the birds are moving. A redheaded woodpecker is searching the bark on a pecan tree and circling its way up the tree trunk. There isn’t a squirrel in sight, but they’ll be running thru the trees playing tag soon.

I’m wearing a ‘sparkle’ ring. It’s an oversized purple raspberry made of plastic rubber that flashes red and blue lights when pressed. It’s a fun trinket that some poorly paid person or prisoner in China, probably made. When Esther visits, I’ll give it to her to give to one of her grand children. .

It’s picnic weather so I’m making picnic foods; potato salad, deviled eggs and baked beans, aka South Beach Diet Cheaters foods. I plan to picnic in front of the TV tomorrow and watch the Indy 500.

May readers of my blog also have a fun and safe weekend!
