Today is the last day of school for my kids, so I drove off at 5:45 this morning to buy a couple of bagels with cream cheese at the local good bagel shop.

I got back, parked, and walked in the side gate. Walking by the side of the house in the cool misty morning carrying two cups of hot coffee and a bag with the bagels I felt... happy. A beautiful June morning. The cool mist. My collection of potting soil and pots and containers and firewood and planters with various flowers. The tall pines in back of the house, mostly silhouetted in the mist. Nice. Nice. Very nice.
