Simple Saturday Chores

fresh from the dryer

warm 

smelling sweet

folded 

stacked

it pleases me

uh oh another storm coming

better be alert

I love this shot

Howie's tail is too long for him to sit properly

so he has to sit "side saddle" if you will

and to keep from toppling

he sticks out a leg

making him a tripod

Justice is in front in her "spot"

High Noon

stand off

but I HAD to dig at the rug!

didn't you hear the thunder?

another tripod shot

I've gone to the dogs lately

spending days, 

weeks,

the summer?

 cocooned in my home

puttering, performing simple chores

reading, sewing, painting,

always purging of course

love it - all of it

love the company I keep

unconditional love

(with a bit of neurosis thrown in)

read until 5 am this morning

watched the sunrise peek through 

as I drifted off to sleep

back up at 10 am

as Justice hollered at the base of the stairs

demanding attention

steaming cups of coffee,

warm homemade muffin,

crisp pink lady apple

sliced egg sandwich

using grandma's vintage slicer

a little butter - even less mayo

pepper, a whisper of salt

on potato bread 

a nap is necessary

on the couch

with both my pals 

fighting for position

Howie always wins

simple

soulful

pleasures
