Thursday Thirteen

Posted May 8, 2013 by Willa Blair in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

This week’s Thursday Thirteen is all about a beautiful Texas day.  We do have a few, when the temperature is perfect, the breeze light, and the sky a cloudless blue bowl overhead.  To put you in the mood, here’s a quote from The Bard (the English one, not the Scot).

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

William Shakespeare 

It’s not quite summer here yet, thank goodness.  But it is a perfect early May day.  Now to the list:

Cloudless blue sky – low humidity

Light Breeze

Hummingbirds at the feeder – several at a time, male and female, mostly blackchins.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Songbirds chirping in the trees – all sorts of wrens, finches, plus the occasional cardinal and western blue jay, which are not melodious, but are colorful

Perfect silence of anything man-made – no car motors, lawnmowers, airplanes, leaf blowers, or anything else

A good book to read

Snacks

Not a care in the world – for the moment, anyway.

That’s mine.  What makes up your perfect day?
