peace

I'm sitting on my new back porch.  Yes, I have things that need to be done, and you're right, this ain't gettin' 'em done.   Hush. 
But, just look.   Look outside!  It's beautiful!   The sun is so bright, the sky has absolutely no clouds.  The trees have completely changed over the last week and a half - there are new,  tender leaves - the prettiest green you've ever seen!  The dogwoods are in full bloom.  The birds are singing from every corner of the yard.  I hear no sounds other than the sounds of nature.   It's just beautiful.   And so peaceful. 
This setting has a horrible worsening effect on my chronic daydreamitis.  I remember a hundred years ago in elementary school, a teacher wrote, "Teri is a day-dreamer.  She'd rather look out the window...blah blah blah."   Well, y'know what?  I still am!  I'd rather look out the window than do many, many things.  
Oh, goodness, it's so peaceful and private and wonderful and lovely out here.  I'm very, very happy to be here in this time and place.  Thank you, Lord, for leading us home.
