First Day Off

I spent the first hour or so this morning, my first day in a four-week chunk of time off, making what will hopefully and thankfully be the last of my bill-paying rounds.

Upon returning home around 9:30, I grabbed a book and my ipod and sank into this chair

where I remained for the following hour and a half, contemplating this view

and watching these dogs

wear themselves out chasing anoles up and down the deck.

Now that my two obligations for the day (paying bills; posting here) are complete, if you will excuse me I am headed back to my chair for another hour and a half of limin'.
