Some days it is enough to just be. There is nothing more perfect than the first beautiful spring day unless it is being off on that day and being able to spend it soaking up the warmth of the sun.

After my little trip to Cincinnati this morning (which came out fine BTW) I came home and curled up on the patio in the sun with my current read. Other than taking some time to give Ab's a bath while it was nice and warm and she could dry in the sun, I spent the entire day there. I am now a little crispy around the edges but feeling better than I have in months. I needed the rest, the fresh air and the sun burn.

I finished my book over dinner (corned beef and cabbage of course)and I absolutely loved it. I was reading Sarah's Quilt by Nancy E. Turner. Sarah's Quilt is the second book in her Sarah Prine Series. I read the first book These is my Words a couple of years ago while I was at my mother's and somehow even though it was wonderful and stuck with me, I never got around to looking for the rest of the trilogy. In fact at the time I don't even know if I realized it was a triology. In anycase, I found books 2 and 3 at the library 2 weeks ago and snatched them both up. If you'd like to know more about them check out Nancy Turner's web site.

I am now sitting here watching The Curse of the Judas Chalice with #2 son. We both love these movies and it is a good way to end the day (assuming I can stay awake from my overdose of fresh air). Tomorrow is back to work and then I am off Thursday but have to be at the hospital at 7:00 for my pre-op stuff. After that I will have the rest of the day to myself I think. It is supposed to rain. I sense another perfect day to read coming on!
