It was hot. I put on a sarong and my bikini and did some gardening in the afternoon. Around 2 my pal Margo stopped by. I gave her a new bikini and a sarong and into the back yard we went. After all 48 of my new flowers were in the ground Margo and I enjoyed a beer, some fun music, and the hammock at the top of the trees in my backyward. You can see the top of the trees and below the wall behind us in a 15 foot drop that leads to an acre behing our house. No its not ours.
As we relaxed on the hammock sharring a bowl of mandrin oranges in our bright garb my mother came to the window and said what a pretter picture. Margo broke out the camera phone and this is some of what was taken. We took pics and giggled like school girls. Thankful to be off work so early and to enjoy the first sun of the season. We talked about my bbq this weekend and who would be falling down, who was comming and so on.
While the sun set I asked Margo to be quiet so we could hear the night birds and other noises with out the rush hour cocaphany. Living behind UCR we see lots of traffic. After a few rustles and me saying " look, can you see it climbing?" Margot took of for the other patio on the other side of the house. She wouldnt even go back with me to get my stuff. Sorry margo. No more hammock at night. Its common to be at my house and encounter all sorts of wildlife. Snakes, toddler sized racoons, Skunks on Family night, Roadrunners, pregnant lizards, humming birds (in the house and our plants), and the always fun Coyote.
All in all it was a blessed evening between two people who knew each other as girls and became friends as women. Thanks fun Margo! Grrr
