perfect day

"Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,

You just keep me hanging on,

You just keep me hanging on."

(- Lou Reed)

Blue sky,

sunshine,

lying on my back on the grass listening to the kids who are happily engaged in play

(in a mudhole surrounded by reeds, bamboo and fallen logs)

riding bikes on the BMX track,

picnic on the grass,

birds singing,

beautiful wattle trees, little golden puffs against the blue sky

(have you noticed how they look like they're tied on with little yellow ribbons?)

driving home in a car full of muddy, smelly, contented children

glorious

perfect, simply perfect!

(but sadly I had left the camera at home........ lesson learned!)
