Dull Day

We haven't accomplished much today, partly because we've been tracking thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches, partly because the weather doused part of a plan, but mostly because we just didn't have a project in mind to work on.

In anticipation of possible dicey weather, we'd prepared tonight's supper meal yesterday...turkey vegetable soup, and muffins...so there wasn't much business in the kitchen today.

Hubbie went to his monthly Master Gardener meeting this morning, after which the group was supposed to tour a particularly lovely and unusual local garden. Inclement weather nixed the tour, which I, digital camera in hand, had planned to attend.

So after lunch, Mother, casting about for something to occupy us, suggested that we go through accumulated paperback and pamphlet cookbooks in search of recipes that might fit our fat-free, low-sodium diet. We perused a stack of them, coming up with only a half dozen recipes that sound good enough to copy and try.

Otherwise, it's been a pretty non-productive day. Maybe we'll do better tomorrow.

Sometimes, a dull day is not so bad.

You're so right. But it makes us feel like we've been unproductive. Instead of feeling guilty, we should be grateful for dull days, shouldn't we? As hard as you work, I'm sure you yearn for dull days.
