A Perfect June Day

The weather is absolutely perfect today, at least in my opinion it is. The baby blue sky is pleasingly plump with an abundance of oversized cotton ball clouds.

When I arose at 7:00, the temperature was in the mid-sixties and the sky was an uninterrupted blue. I tended to my dental office responsibilities from 8:00 until noon when we closed for the day. I toted my bike to NorthPointe and cycled the country roads comfortably as the temperatures topped off at a glorious 75 degrees.

After a quick shower, I hopped in my truck and headed home, making a quick stop for a few grocery items on the way. Presently, I'm on the screen porch writing these sentences describing my extraordinarily pleasing day.

When Lon arrives home after his work day, we'll cook pork chops on the grill. He'll leave for an hour or so to watch our son, Jared, play softball while I bask in the silence and solitude with my latest book. Before bedtime, we'll cut thick slabs of watermelon and savor its summer sweetness, adding glitter to an already excellent day.

How do you spend a perfect day like this when it arrives unexpectedly and you're able to fill at least a few hours of it as you like?
