Doing Nothing and Enjoying It

Louisiana

I set aside yesterday afternoon to do some much needed gardening. The minute I pulled the first weed, the sky fell in so I sat on the porch swing and did nothing, after the lightning quit, that is. When my husband returned from the Nursing Home where his 94 year old father is, I fixed a quick supper and we ate on the porch. Sometimes it's good to do nothing.

Doing nothing with elegance, intelligence and peace of mind is a noble art ;^))
I love the picture of the dinner too, great crop!

Even with the post processing we can see your smile, that's what counts. Sounds like a good day and evening.

it certainly is :-)

Maybe it seemed like you did nothing, but I think a lot of work went into this SP and it was worth every minute. Most excellent results.

I must put this on my to do list for today. :) Love the PS effect and you look so relaxed. And the food looks perfect for this horrible, muggy weather that makes it impossible to eat a large meal.

wonderful sp...

Oh yes, the art of being instead of doing.......difficult, but so rewarding. Wonderful SP and post processing. I must take advantage of my porch swings this weekend, except it's 100+....

What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon! Glad you got to do it. Very cute SP.

I am supremely envious! Love it, Coleen.

Guest 01-Jul-2005 22:46

Very nice SP. That lightning was really something, wasn't it.

Heineken refreshes the parts other drinks cant.
Dan Chusid01-Jul-2005 19:32
I'd love to be able to do nothing
but my mind keeps saying otherwise!
Guest 01-Jul-2005 19:00
Lazy you! But I somehow like the picture. Guess I am just jalous
Guest 01-Jul-2005 18:14
Wonderful!!
Guest 01-Jul-2005 17:47
AHHH! The wonderful porch swing. Not as common as before. We always had one when I was growing up. Lot of memories there. Thanks for sharing your day.
Cliff01-Jul-2005 17:20
Ahhh the life! Great to see you in such blissful repose! ;o)
J. Scott Coile01-Jul-2005 17:18
Your SPs are always so fun. I've got to remember SP Friday :) This looks like its paited on wood. Interesting texture. "Dinner on the Swing" ;) Cute!!!
Adalberto Tiburzi01-Jul-2005 17:12
Well, doing nothing but the PaD :-)

Better watch it with these cheesecake shots, Coleen; people will talk. Now I'm hungry and feel like hitting the rocking chair for a crossword puzzle. Nice shots.
JeremyGood01-Jul-2005 16:57
WOOHOO! GLAMOUR SHOT!!!
Guest 01-Jul-2005 16:39
Funny self-portrait (with the post-editing too).
Great moment of doing nothing.
Lee Rudd01-Jul-2005 16:35
what a gloriously decadent (that word again!) way to spend the evening! I like a lot about this photo... oh and the healthy meal :)
