Sunday was a glorious day in the Redland. The air was crisp with the coming fall (at least for an hour or two it was LOL). The sun was shining. A gentle breeze was blowing. I sat on my porch late afternoon and took a snooze. Well, as much of a snooze as my two cats will let me take. The dogs were busy inside barking as well. It didn’t take a lot of effort on my part to ignore them =)
Days like that one make me glad I moved to the Redland. Selling real estate in Miami isn’t terribly easy right now. But resting in the Redland is.
I listened to the birds calling. I watched the palm trees swaying in the breeze. I saw the neighbors take their horses for a stroll. They rode them down the dirt road. At the main road they could at least see some cars pass by. I preferred the tranquility of my porch.
Apart from the horses and the neighbors I saw no one else. Our street, like most in the Redland, doesn’t get a lot of traffic. Ours gets even less since it’s not paved. Not many want to encounter the wrath of the mud puddles of a dirt road after a rain.
I closed my eyes half-way and enjoyed the time I spent doing nothing. The next day I’d be actively back at work. That afternoon I had been working. But that very moment I did nothing but sit on my porch and enjoy the Redland. I highly recommend it.

Maggie,
Ah, a "recovery day" as we call them in BRO. They add years to your life, and life to your years in r.e. Well done.
Lysa - those pesky little critters are cute, aren't they? The ones by my home walk the electric lines and they're fascinating to watch!
Lynda - a recovery day is always good. I can have recovery evenings whenever I come home to the Redland =)
