Day 554: Relaxing day

With my feet up, I read the Sunday paper in the morning sun on the back deck.   Molly watches the birds, maybe hopes for a chippy to dart from the drain pipe.  Beside me, Steve reads.  No one mows!  A peaceful, lovely morning.    We visit with my brother Steve and tour his glorious garden.  He is constantly in motion, reworking his designs, moving rocks, shoveling mulch or crushed stone.  Gardening is a break from his sedentary, computer oriented, high stress job.  Then we pick up more luscious berries and head home to the pool.  Three quarters of a mile today, mapping the gardens, identifying lilies.
