a perfect day

anotheranonD. and I went out to Sheep and Wool on Saturday. For me, it was an excuse to pet fluffy fibers without fear of denting my pocketbook; for both of us it was a nice day to get outside before the summer inferno.
It was good :) Clear, 70sF, little fluffy clouds in the sky to match the little (and not so little - damn, I didn't realize some of them got so big!) fluffy sheep we saw in their pens and being shown.
We ate lamb gyros while watching the sheep show (and I felt a little guilty, sitting there listening to the "baa"ing whilst eating their kinfolk. Why are cute animals so tasty?). Saw an English angora rabbit bigger than Spice. Saw sheepdogs at work, so finely tuned into their shepherd that they could get a flock to Mars given the right equipment. Got some alpaca yarn for my sister and alpaca socks for myself.
Afterwards we saw Thor 3D (high spectacle, low content) and feasted on Lebanese food and good red wine.
During none of this did I get fidgety thinking there was something else I needed to be doing, or somewhere else I was needed or expected. That "being there" is rarer than hen's teeth for me, so I'll take it.
