Sous Chef

I had my orders.  I was already home and had to get the rice and barley started.  Just that.  In the rice cooker.  I was responsible for the “base”.  “Easy Peasy.”    

He came home and added the onions, peppers, spices, kielbasa and I don’t even know what else.  All that.  In a fry pan. He was responsible for dinner.  “Easy Peasy.”

Our dinner was ready in minutes flat.  It was delicious.  

We cleaned up even faster.  The next course would be even better.

I was ready to give the orders now.  I like working under the chef.

Sunrise Sunset

After checking the mailbox, I didn’t go back into the house. It was a beautiful sunny day and I had just received my favorite magazine.  I sat under the rays and absorbed every word.  I read on the deck until my husband called through the screen that it was dinner time. I reluctantly went in just as I got to the “Reader’s Write” section. Back inside the house with the family, life got busy and night fell. I never made it back outside to learn about my fellow readers.

In the morning, I went outside to walk the dog.

It had rained on The Sun.
