My friend and I had outdoor lunch plans on Saturday. Those of you in the area will know that much of the week leading up to Saturday was either quite toasty, very humid, or raining. There was little in between.
I turned off the fan for a few hours at one point because I vacillate between enjoying the white noise of the fan and thinking that sometimes that fan seems very loud and I would like it to shush. (The fan is not the problem here, I am aware.) I made it just a few hours before I remembered that turning it off always meant it took much longer for things to get back to not feeling wilted because while it often feels like the fan is doing very little, it take more for it to get back to that point when it can't do it's thing.
But I digress. Saturday - the weather folks promised - would fall into that sweet spot, warm enough even for me, not rainy. I put on sunscreen and bug spray, and decided to be bold and leave the rain gear at home. And it was delightful. I ate food someone else made delicious, I chatted with a friend, we people watched trying to figure out what kind of gathering was happening the next door over. (It involved a tiara and presents.)
We went and got delightful drinks and sat outside in a slightly different location and chatted more. The sky was gorgeously blue with clouds. And we said goodbye and it was just a delight.
May a beautiful day be in your future if Saturday, for whatever reason, wasn't one for you.
