Purple Tank Top Day

When my darling May was a baby-child she used to change her clothes approximately every four hours. At least. I would have wondered why, but I am the same. Each and every activity of my day seems to require a different change of clothes and sometimes there's no other reason to change except that whatever I am wearing just will not do.
I am currently in my fifth outfit of the day. There have been two dresses, a pair of overalls, a pair of cargo pants and a black garment. And a purple tank top.

You know, nudity would be so much simpler.

And if I was young and cute, I would consider that. But I am not.

Anyway, Mr. Moon and I just took a lovely sunset cruise in the convertible down oak-lined roads to a lake where we saw a gator swimming, heard frogs croaking, and admired the cypress trees.



It's been another real good day. I'm almost afraid to start tallying up these good days, superstitious as I am about alerting the gods to my contentment. I did a little garden work despite my vow that I would do no more of it  and finally got the beans planted as well as some cucumbers. Mr. Moon has been doing the heavy lifting and hula-hoeing and so much more and I just can't help but be involved. I've kicked bamboo and watered porch plants and had an hour-long conversation with my brother on the phone. The brother who is still talking to me. It was good and he gave me some things to ponder on and I am real grateful for that. 

The leftover pizza is in the oven and tomorrow another week will begin. I wonder who invented "the week." I have no idea. 

Owen may spend the night tomorrow night. We shall see. My world right now smells of dirt and green things. I can hear birds twittering themselves to sleep. My neurons are somewhat aligned. 

I am wearing the nunnightgown. And the purple tank top. 

I could dance if I wanted, I could pray if I did that. 

See you tomorrow. 

Love...Ms. Moon

  2. Catching up here. Been on the boat for three days and loving cruising down the coast. It was a good time. Glad that your day was good too!

  3. Oh, how happy I would be just to go naked. At least in my own home. But alas, I have already damaged my kids enough. It would be like the Crying Game.

    If you ever get a picture of an aligator I would love to see it!

    My husband changes his clothes many times a day. At least 4 times. I laugh at him and he always looks hurt. I tell you, that man will never, ever go out in sweatpants. Actually, it makes me glad.

  4. I'm glad you talked with your brother.

    My mom used to yell at us if we changed clothes more than once or twice a day. Then she taught us to do our own laundry!

  5. Good Monday to you Ms Moon,
    I love your photo of the cypress trees and lily pads. The Spanish moss hanging on the trees ... my horse loved eating that stuff. He'd pull it off the trees and munch as we rode along.

    Indeed, who did invent the concept of having a week with a start and an end?

    I'm new here so I don't know exactly what your "nunnightgown" is but I can imagine.

  6. Mmmmm I can't wait to smell dirt. Soon.
    Those pics are fantastic! If I saw an alligator, I'd crap myself and have to change clothes. HA!
