Perfect

Today has been pretty dang near perfect.

I set my birdsong alarm, since Beloved wasn't here. I heard the kids moving around, but they didn't come out until after 7am, and both were in good moods. They had some cereal and then played with an empty laundry basket while I made Pumpkin Oatmeal and a Spinach-Basil Quiche for the village breakfast. I grabbed a shower before everyone showed up.

SSQ made bacon and brought over-night batter for waffles that Beloved cooked up. Rude13, ShadoKnight, and Catch22 rounded out the table, along with the assorted children. We feasted and then cleaned up and EVERYONE cleared out.

I spent the next couple of hours in the yard. It's a beautiful fall day, temperatures in the upper 60s, sunny, deep blue sky. I spent time culling the overgrowth, deadheading, and weeding. There was enough to fill two yard bags, just from the front yard, and planted 100 more bulbs...all tulips and alliums. I have about 100 more to go in daffodils, snow-glowies, and more irises. I was excited to find some hidden blooms in the dense growth, so there is still some color out there. The mums are bursting into bloom, too.

Beloved dropped a text saying he, Rude13, and the kids were on the way back. I got chili warmed up and cornbread in the oven. I'm hungry and they are just walking in the door.

The kids will probably wander off to veg in front of the television, so the adults are going to squeeze in a game or two.

So...yeah...pretty dang near perfect.
