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
Wildflowers in bloom – the bluebonnets are nearly done, but they’ve been replaced by a riot of other colors
Hummingbirds at the feeder – several at a time, male and female, mostly blackchins.
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
Cat dozing in a sunny spot on the patio
A comfy seat to watch the cat, the birds and the breeze
A good book to read
Lemonade
Snacks
Not a care in the world – for the moment, anyway.
That’s mine. What makes up your perfect day?
