Sunday was a perfect day to sit outside and soak up the heat, chat with a friend, read, and just generally relax and empty the mind of everything but pleasure. Such a treat of a day! One could hear people laughing, children playing, birds singing, and lawnmowers purring loudly. All appeared to be in such a good, contented frame of mind. It's like the whole world was joyful. It was a perfect introduction to summer.
