thursday

I like sitting on my porch early in the morning before the neighbors are up and getting ready for their day. It's so peaceful. I especially like it when it's raining.
The woman across the street is usually the first one up. She has three children that she has to get ready for school as she gets herself ready for work. She's the hardest working woman on the block I think. Her husband is out of town for weeks at a time some of the time. So the majority of raising the children and taking care of the home is her responsibility. I remember those days. It's a lot of work but it's also very full filling I think.

We don't have much going on today.
Boyfriend needs to have some blood work done. We also plan to go to the store to get some grass seed and top soil. I'll probably lay the seed when we get home.
 I've finished scrapping the flaking paint from the porch railing, so I also need to buy the paint to paint it. If it doesn't rain I'll probably start painting today.
And then I need to get my youngest sister a birthday card, and get it in the mail.

I'm sitting at the dining room table.
Mr. Bojangles is on the table just next to my right arm. He's dozing and purring very loudly. I keep kissing him on the top of his head.
