One of Those Days

It was one of those days.

One of those days where you just had to be happy. The sun shone down. The birds were singing happily, but didn't wake me up at some stupid hour.

One of those days where I almost didn't mind cutting the grass and pruning the hedges because it was so beautiful out.

One of those days where the trees have all turned magically green as the new leaves spring forth. And I noticed that I have flowers in the front flower bed. And my stargazer lilies are pushing up through the fresh layer of soil I gave them a couple of weeks ago.

One of those days where I did tonnes of laundry and it all dried outside. And cleaned the loos without losing the will to live.

One of those days that I went grocery shopping and paid someone else to clean my car while I was in there. (Because it was filthy and I really didn't want to do it no matter how nice it was out.)

One of those days that it is so nice out that I came out from grocery shopping laden down with fruit and stuff for salads.

One of those days where I didn't need socks, for the first time this year. (Reminder to self - must paint toe nails.)

One of those days my eldest makes cupcakes. And I stopped for the kids at the end of the lane to the farm where they were holding up a hand painted sign saying they were selling eggs. So I bought some and they give me some daffodils because they were so happy I stopped. Then I got home and saw they had marked on each egg by hand the date each one was laid. (I love that!)

One of those days where I got loads done, felt good for it and still had time to go sit in the sun at the end of the day to do a little hand stitching while dinner cooked.

It was one of those days where you just had to be happy.
