bonjour weekend

pear

I'm not working this weekend at the little gift and home decor store and I'm feeling quite thrilled about that. It feels like I've been working too many weekends lately. I do have a few hours of design work to schedule in both today and Sunday here at the TTD but I'll make those hours coincide with a few of my favourite weekend CBC radio shows (of which there are a plethora of weekend favs to choose from which makes sitting here and drawing pure pleasure). This weekend I'll have many hours of totally free time - to do with, whatever I feel like. I'll peel and chop fruit, peppers, onions and tomatoes and make my batch of fruit chili sauce. I'll see if I can't finish my current book - What Was Lost (a quirky, funny and touching British mystery) so that I might move on to the next book in les bedside pile. I'll enjoy eating seasonal fruit - pears and plums and apples. I'll get out that ocelot lure and I'll drag it around this old brick house v-e-r-y slowly and I'll see if I can't catch me some miniature wild cats. I'll walk in blustery cooler weather with my girl Miss D. by my side. We'll notice the few leaves along our travels that have already turned - brilliant crimson or vivid yellow. When the wind is cold and coming in off the water we change our route and walk up the hill toward the schools and by the house with the sweet older dog, a shepherd mix who has one crooked ear and we'll call out to him Hey there handsome ! because he is, very and he reminds us so much of Jake. I'll tidy and putter, pitch and sort ... I'll hang laundry out on the line to dry in this crisp Autumn air. Shut Up ! I might even vacuum. And I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
