scenes from a saturday

Posted on May 4, 2008 by thirdstoryies

The oven was going late and then early again this morning getting ready for a bake sale. I got a little Trader Joe’s with the signage.


Then E and I went to the library because it was just too gray and blustery for the garden. We’re pretty stalwart supporters of the place, be it rain or shine. But we just couldn’t bring ourselves to pull the winter things out again and bundle up against the wind so we hung out at the library for a couple of hours. The two of us used to go there on Friday mornings, but when I went back to work full time last year those visits shifted to Monday afternoons with Dad. So this was a pleasant way to start the day, even a gray and windy one.

When we got back home we decided to do a bit of spring cleaning, starting at the top. I cleared her room out and let the Roomba loose. A bit later I went to check on the progress and discovered that someone had moved the wooden horse back into the room and was deeply engaged in some sort of wild west play acting. The imaginary lasso swirled in the air, a suitcase was packed and stowed under the horse’s legs and she was referring to the robotic vacuum as her “cow-dog” every time it nestled up near her on the range. I just let the camera go, trying to catch the crazy antics. Eventually I was caught in the act when this cowgirl decided to check the progress of her herd and glanced over her shoulder
