Perfect Day






Today has been one of those days I wish I could hold for ever—perfect temperature, almost 80 degrees, yard work and time with the neighbors—there is a feeling in the air that drastic change is coming in a few weeks, maybe as many as ten weeks, but definitely the days of good weather and other the fence lollygagging are about over for this year. Mark A was over today, mowing yard and clipping some of the limbs off the plumb tree branches hanging over the ramp. Mark has finally completed the first book he has made from scratch—just about everything except the raw ingredients. He covered the covers with naugahyde, sewed the pages ito sections and then sewed the whole group of pages together into the main book. This is his first book and he is impressed with the document as am I. It has about 200 pages and he plan to use the volume for his journal. Mark is already planning his next volume, he has ideas for changes and things he will do differently. I appreciate Mark’s willingness to take on such a challenge and go forward and learn and complete then refine. I wish I had that kind of drive.
Today is Jessica’s birthday, Mark’s oldest child. We are planning on meeting at Café Rio for dinner and maybe even including Anakah.
