Sunday Idle

A few days of pack/move/clean/move/unpack/clean/move/pack/unpack leaves a girl needing some peace.

That's why it is helpful that I have lovely people in my life to provide it.

First, my Sunday morning of idle started with breakfast a 40 minute car ride through countryside more beautiful than any I've seen in awhile away.

My countryside idle took me to this beautiful inn, to spend the morning with Pam and Del and their friends who own it.  
My countryside idle also took me to this little bird, who felt the need to welcome me there by flying into my lap.  

[I'm not kidding.  The bird flew into and sat in my lap.]

[I'll give you a minute to process that....]

After the shock of that strange little moment wore off, we decided it was time to take a walk along the Juniata in order to make my countrysiding complete.

We wandered along,
breathing in watery air,
before returning to the breeze of the porch,
and the rocking of the chairs.

After awhile I tore myself away, in order to finish the cleaning/moving cycle,
before my evening peace commenced.

Right on schedule, I picked up Yi-Ting and we found our way over to Kenneth and Cathe's in order to celebrate Kenneth's new job and their impending move.
We ate fried chicken, we made a little music, we laughed and reminisced and caught ourselves up on life.

It was idle of the comfortable kind, and it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday.
