“Whoa, Lucy. This ground is warm.”
“Yes, it is. The temp is 81 degrees F today. That’s 27.2 C for our metric friends.”
“Why are you laying there staring at the fence.”
“No reason. I just wanted the sun on my back.”
“I’m not buying it. There must be something over there.”
“There isn’t anything, I promise you.”
“Well, that’s disappointing. I thought you would have a reason for laying that way.”
“Nope, just catching the rays.”
“You lay here if you want. I’m going to check out the patio.”
“Hmm, the snow didn’t leave any marks.”
“What? I can’t hear you.”
“Nothing. I was just admiring the vincas. Are these edible?”
“You are mumbling. Come where I can hear you.”
“Okay, I’m here. What’s that over there?”
“Weren’t you saying something about the patio, and now you are wondering what is over there?”
“Well, yes. That’s what I do. Attention isn’t my strong suit.”
“Where you going?”
“I need a drink. I’m going into the saloon.”
“Very funny. What’s wrong with a little deficit in the attention department?”
“Huh? I was looking at that shiny thing on the porch.”
“Okay, I get it.”
I’m jealous of that warmth, but I reckon you guys earned a weather break. That’s a big change over a short time, though. I don’t blame the girls for catching some rays while they can 🙂
