The great outdoors
Fran Leibowitz once said the great outdoors was from her front door to a taxi cab, but she and I had nothing in common when it comes to nature. I love the great outdoors. Right at my doorstep is the bayou and City Park and I have not been on it, in it, in quite sometimes. Every time I am about to go for that walk, I get side tracked.
So today, when a friend stopped by, we made dinner and headed to the back yard to at least sit in nature. And there is a general good feeling here despite housezilla in back of us, and the double whammy corner of construction out in front of us, there is something very peaceful about this spot right here.
I am grateful that I found this place when I was looking for a place to give me shelter from my storm.
