Daylight peeps into our windows, moving across the longleaf pine floors just as it has each morning for over a hundred years. Same windows. Same floors. Same walls.
Yet the angle of the sun feels different on Saturday.
Lucy snoozes in a bright spot near the window keeping one eye on a squirrel already gathering nuts for winter.
John reads the comic section of the newspaper. He is silent except for an occasional chuckle.
I write and enjoy my first cup of coffee, just as I did yesterday and the day before. But coffee tastes different on Saturday.

Once again on Saturday, I changed my writing/reading spot in the 81-year-old house o’ mine. Duh! I now have the lamp on my right–I’m left-handed–so when I write, the shadow (shudder) won’t get in the way. That’s after I swept up the borax sprinkled on the hardwood floor against any fleas in the area. xoxox
Dorothy Latimer Johnson says
It’s a nice place to drink coffee Thursday and Friday too! One of those mornings, I wrote about the slant of the sun on the hardwood floor for my practice writing. Beautiful space, beautiful home!
Talya Tate Boerner says
Thanks Dorothy! I know you are happy to be drinking coffee at home this morning:)
Kathy says
I have noticed that everything is so much better on Saturday…I don’t drink coffee but I think it applies to just about anything.
Talya Tate Boerner says
I agree Kathy!
