If only it were connected to a "no work weekend" !!
I started the day with a walk in the park with Sadie. 73, windy and cloudy with a 30% chance of rain. The morning was beautiful, but we got our rain in the afternoon - thunder included at no extra charge! haha
There were plenty of birds to watch and observe. Sadie has no patience, however, and her antics keep the birds from venturing too close.
After, I came home to do some transplants of my cactus - the first one done was putting these Yucca Lily plants into the new pots. They turned out great, and will look awesome ....... when I decide where they need to be :)
The rest of the afternoon was spent in rest and relaxation. I am currently reading a story about a 14 year old boy accused of murdering a classmate who had been teasing him. The boy's father is the town's prosecution DA, and even though he's removed from the case, still pursues to find out the facts. In the process he learns some ugly truths about teenagers in general, and some hard lessons about how people's view of others changes when something happens.
At this point in the story, they have gone to trial, this boy being treated as an adult, with premeditated murder hanging over his head. As a parent, none of us want to believe our kid could ever be capable of any type of violence. But when they're teenagers, the attitude copped by most of them can keep us wondering. Now that my own two are grown up, I often marvel at the fact that we all survived all that teen-aged angst!
