What does a perfect day look like? I'm sure you can imagine what your perfect day might look like. I could have conjured up a vision of what I would have imagined to be my perfect day. I haven't put much thought into it, but it wouldn't have looked like today. Oddly enough, though, today felt nearly perfect. Isn't it funny how unexpected little moments can add up to a whole new version of perfection?
Today was really no different than any other day might be. The weather was considerably nicer than what we've had lately. I guess that may have been the perfect backdrop to this day. I woke up to find that my new haircut didn't take too long to fix this morning. That's always a good start to things. I got dressed, fixed my hair, and put on makeup before leaving my room. That's a plus, too. Reuben and I headed out to burn some fields together around ten. I took advantage of the darker burnt ground to look for deer sheds. I found one small spike horn. Hey! It's the best I've found this year. The burn went just as planned, with no problems. We spent over two hours working as a team to get this job done. We came in for lunch and decided we would go back out and look for arrowheads. We spent about an hour doing that together. Keep in mind that the weather was so warm, and the sun was shining the whole time. We rode in the truck with our windows down. Reuben took a short nap when we got back to the house, while I started on supper. I made homemade pizza that got done just a few minutes after Reuben picked the boys up. The kids were anxious to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather and slightly longer daylight, too. So, after we ate, we all went back outside. Reuben and I played a game of HORSE, with Brady joining in along the way. The guys then played a quick game of football, while I watched and played with the pets. The evening has been just like any other. Overall, this day has added up to the perfect day. I love days like this. We're all dirty and grimy from the day, and it's about time for everyone to clean up and get in bed. I somehow feel closer to my family on days like this. I wish every day could be like today. It really is about the little things in life.
