I love the evenings when the day is done, the kids are safe in bed and we're all ready for sleep. Quiet, with a day finished and survived. No chores for the following day that take us out of the house. My mom with her needs met. Tea to be here in bed the following morning. A book to read that hates to be put down.
Contentment.
That is now, or will begin in about an hour or so.
Headache is gone, groceries in the house for a couple of days. Puttering to enjoy. Nothing pressing.
School finished for another season. Weeds to be pulled. Pots to be watered. A storm to listen to from the open window by my bed tonight. Chickens to be held tomorrow.
A cloth book cover to be stitched for middle daughter to keep safe a very old copy of fairy tales.
Rest.
