Holy Africa

Tonight was my favorite kind of weather: warm and windy and cloudy, with a little sun peeking through. So of course I had to do some of my favorite things.

I started out with a work-nic. It's a picnic with homework instead of food. We're finishing up romanticism and are working on Lord Byron's piece Manfred. Not the most exciting but it's reading nonetheless.

It took me like half an hour to read 3 pages. (Note I was "actively" reading and marking the text and getting distracted by birds and wind and music and bugs :) So I eventually came up with the brilliant idea, if I do say so myself, to open both sliding doors on our minivan and take a nap with the cross breeze of the wind blowing through.

And it was marvelous! Oh how I love the wind. It's my absolute favorite, it's one of the only two things I love about the beach...wind and sand. So I laid outside for about 45 minutes and rested and was able to still my heart. It was wonderful.

Unfortunately I still have homework after my little "power-nap". But I want to leave you with this video. It's my favorite rainy day songs. It's called Holy Africa by Concerning Lions:
