An Ideal Moment

There was a moment this afternoon...

The clouds were big and puffy and the sky was just the right color of blue.
The air was hot, but in the shade of the big umbrella it wasn't overwhelming.
There was a small white butterfly flapping prettily in the corner of the garden. (It was nice enough to stay there.)
Relia was splashing with her beach ball. It would get away from her and fall on the lawn. She'd try and stretch for it without tipping over the side. Always successful.
Not much reading, maybe three pages in all, but the thought was nice.

It was all very nice.
