Friday night, there’s still light outside, daylight is getting longer, and it’s warmer. Rarely, I am caught up on all the things on my to-do list, and decided to sit in the yard. For a moment, I felt guilty, even grabbed a book to read. As if I’m wasting time if do nothing, just sit there. Then I realized, I am not just sitting there, I am enjoying life.
I can hear a noisy motorcycle zoom by, that’s the noise of Friday night, warming up the weekend. I can see when the half moon is brightening up the sky, which is also when the solar lights flicker on, that’s when day and night change shifts. I can see the peach blossoms all around, this is their prime time.
When I’m not occupied by chores, life comes back. It’s been long time I haven’t sat quietly like this, as if I have a date with Spring.
