It's been kind of an overcast afternoon since we got home from school, really peaceful actually. No friends over to play (Megan was "too tired" after her first ever full day of pre-kindergarten), no requests for snacks (from Macauley or Booker)...just some quiet TV time for Mac and Book in my room and Internet surfing in my office (which I'm loving lately) for me. I've been getting lots of decorating ideas these past few days and I can't wait for the weekend when Lane is coming to visit and we will do some treasure hunting. Tonight though, Ryan said he'd take us out for dinner and then we'll settle in for another comfy night. Macauley is a little worn out himself--today was the kindergarten field trip to the Discovery Center that he'd been looking forward to for weeks. He has also been coming home with lots of letters lately, some written by him, others to him. I loved this one addressed to his dear old dawg.
Even the cats snuggled in this afternoon...Maya Angelou was outside on the prowl, though.
A gray scale kind of day, but I feel such contentment, sunny or not, looking around the house to see my boy, my dog, my kitties, and my treasures, like this sundial face I got from The Seedbox and hung up in the kitchen. Turns out "sun" can come from lots of different places...

A gray scale kind of a day. Love this! What lucky students you have in your English classes. This post was delightful and love to read of contentment.
Oh, and I can see why you like this sundial face! Isn't it neat to think there are things "out there" like this? A home is such a collection of things we gather and bring to it...
