A beautiful day in the neighborhood

I occasionally have to work on Saturday.
When I do, I get a half day off during the preceding week.
Today was that day.

It is warm and sunny,
     a very still day -
highly unusual for March in the Panhandle! -
     blue, blue skies,
white, fluffy clouds drifting lazily along,
     and a picnic by the lake.
Ducks and geese quacking
     and merrily dipping their heads in the water,
children laughing and clapping,
     old men sitting in chairs at lake's edge
catching their fill of trout,
     birds calling to whomever will listen.

A walk around the lake,
     good conversation,
burgeoning friendship.

Yes, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
