Loving a Lazy Day

I don't know a single person who doesn't deserve to enjoy a completely lazy day now and again.  We're such a "do this, go there" society that we often feel guilty for doing nothing constructive.

I don't actually think it's possible to do nothing.  In a sense, we're still choosing to relax, so that's something, right?  Then there's how we define doing nothing.  I've been pretty lazy today, beginning with sleeping a little later than usual and then enjoying time on the porch with the pups.  It should be noted that I did the Sunday crossword puzzle and Scrabblegram during that porch sojourn.  At the same time, I had a load of laundry running in the washing machine, too.  Since then, I went to the supermarket, too.  Again, doing stuff on my doing nothing day.  Proof positive that relaxing does not mean non-productive.

I plan to do some sequinning today, too.  Not exactly a stressful activity on my lazy day.

I took a cooking class earlier in the week and learned to make risotto.  Just to make sure that I remember everything I was taught, I'm going to make some tonight all on my own.  I really like dishes that call for adding wine.  Once the bottle's open, it just makes sense to pour a glass to sip on while stirring.

When I pulled into the driveway after my supermarket run, I noticed that my orange tree has fruit on it!  This is the first time and I'm amazed.  I thought it was destined to be barren.  I had it put in a few years ago when the state lifted the ban on planting new citrus trees and kept my fingers crossed but signs were not good.  Talk about non-productive.  Today I counted 8 green oranges.  Sure they're still small -- not one is even the size of a golf ball -- but they're there and they're growing.  I have no idea how long it will take before they're full sized and ripe, but when that happens and I get to pick a delicious orange off of my very own tree, it will be sweet treat for sure! 

So how are you enjoying your lazy Sunday?  Doing or not-doing anything special?
