All three us ushered in this lazy Sunday in a very unhurried fashion. The cold wind and icy wet snow rushed into the valley from the canyon just a few miles above where our little home is perched. Feeling the brisk chill which filled our abode as we slept did not encourage us to abandon the sheets so willingly, or to pry open our sleepy eyes without some struggle. Turning over and embracing the warm white sheets and blankets for just another hour or so sounded just fine to all of us, which is exactly what we did. Eventually we did slip out of bed for some breakfast and hot showers.
It was a slow drip of a day here at the Navas home. Violet and I dabbled in some watercolors and washable markers during the afternoon, while listening to ocean waves courtesy of YouTube. Cristian curled up in a cozy blanket and caught up on one of his favorite TV shows. Lunch was snacks here and there of apples, orange juice, left over salad, and some roast beef sandwhiches made on the fly.
I'll be honest, none of really wanted to go outside while it was so cozy and warm inside. However it was decided we could use a little fresh air and exercise so we hopped in the car for a late afternoon Sunday drive. We found ourselves out in Bensen looking at horses, cows, geese, and ducks. We splashed in puddles, saw seagulls dive bombing the dam and scooping up fish, and an abandoned container of wiggly worms which Violet was absolutely fascinated with.
Try as we might we could not get her to touch one, but she stared and pointed and became quite upset when her daddy threw one into the dam, only to be clasped up by one of the birds a nanosecond later.
Shivery, wet, but rosy cheeked and refreshed we headed home a few hours later, for warm dry clothing, hot drinks, and snuggles on the couch. I hope your Sunday was as rejuvenated and wonderful as ours.
