cozy morning

Hello Dear Reader.
It's Saturday morning here as I am writing this.
The rain has just begun to fall and
there is the gentle rumble of thunder in the distance.
Oooh--there was a little lightening.
But that's okay.
It's the perfect stormy spring morning here.
Lloyd Dobbler left over an hour ago
to get the big boys haircuts.
It's amazing how quiet the house is
when you remove a couple of children.
Especially if one of them is Sweet T.
Lovely K and I have been here with Baby J,
listening to Saturday morning drama on Moody radio
and doing a bit of cleaning.
She has already cleaned the two downstairs bathrooms
and dusted the living room
(well, she's supposed to be dusting....I have a feeling
she's standing beside the radio in the living room
with a feather duster in her hand...but that's okay....
she's more help to me than anyone else
when she wants to be).
Baby J just went down for his morning nap.
It's just such a cozy morning.
I wish I had
bread baking or some meaty thing in the crock pot
---something to infuse the air with flavor.

But for now I am enjoying the ambiance as it is.

Spring storms.
Saturday morning.
Laundry and cleaning.
Strawberries and Ranger Bill.

My kind of day.
