Sunday afternoon

Sat on the deck in the falling-to-bits wooden rocking chair, reading in the sun. Beautiful afternoon. Pale blue sky, blue water, sand-coloured reeds, bare trees... a few birds... children playing outside in the street, no doubt practicing the moves that their heros will make in the Superbowl in a couple of hours.

I never would have believed I could sit outside in the sun in New York state in February. Was a lovely afternoon.
