Happy Easter!
What a great day to be alive! I took the whole day off and did absolutely nothing...that I didn't want to do. Out of bed at dawn, I donned my gardening clothes and went out to plant my tomatoes. Didn't pause to brush my teeth, or wash my face, didn't even put on a bra. I worked outside until hunger drove me in for lunch. I just frittered away the entire day doing laundry, reading, cooking, re-potting plants, and watering. And here I sit, drinking wine and blogging when I should be putting the finishing touches on dinner: Ahi tuna tacos with fresh salsa, salad from the garden, black beans and barley/rice pilaf. Life is good when you take the time to appreciate the simple pleasures.

We just had our first 2 warm days here. In the 70's. I can hardly wait to start a little garden plot.
Yeah I had a leisurely Easter too. Got up, had a bagel and coffee while perusing the internet. Then I mopped my wood floors and shook out the rugs. Had lunch, watched a wee bit of golf, then lifted my weights, got my Ipod, put on the disco tunes and headed out for a nice 4 mile walk doing my best strut. Then barbequed steaks and had baked potatoes with a tomato and onions in vinegar and oil. It was a nice sunny and warm day.
What a wonderful day you describe! I cooked and cleaned and then worked on the computer for a few hours... The weather here was glorious but Monday it is back to miserable - snow flurries...
I believed I was alone to do that !!

@October27 - There's nothing like the first warm days of spring to get us out in the garden. Bob loves to supervise while the sillier cats romp around in the freshly tilled soil. Shola digs a hole half way to China, then does her business on the berm. She has the most puzzled look when she turns around and finds she's missed her target. I don't know how people who have fewer than eight cats manage in the garden. My gray tabbies have been bringing gophers to my doorstep, sometimes two a day. So far no live ones have made it into my garden though the periphery of my yard shows evidence of their activity.
@zarnicki - It's so nice to have the luxury of "squandering" time doing exactly as you please.
@murisopsis - I feel your pain; it's turned gray and cold here too. My squash have germinated in spite of the cool weather though, so I'm happy not to have to water. There will be plenty of hot weather soon enough.
@fauquet - We are kindred spirits here on Xanga. I'm grateful to have found friends with mutual interests and friends with diverse interests.
