The lazy Sunday

Is there anything better then a lazy Sunday?  You know, the kind of morning when you wake up at your leisure and then sit around the house drinking coffee, reading the paper, and basically just doing nothing.  The addition of a little early season rain to the mix just makes it all the better.

Normally, I spend Sunday mornings cycling.  This means up early and back home after 2 –3 hours of riding with friends.  It’s a great way to spend a Sunday but it’s not what most people would consider relaxing.  However, the weather forecast for this Sunday called for our first rain of Fall and that provided the perfect opportunity for a more relaxed Sunday routine.

After sleeping in for a change, it was time to get our easy morning started.  Since we have a very nice espresso machine, a couple of breve cappuccinos ere in order.  I also popped down to local bakery and picked up a chocolate croissant and apricot-pecan scone.  All of this was casually eaten with the cappuccino as we watched the rain continued to fall. 

After breakfast, we headed out to the living room for a strenuous morning of reading the paper and playing around on Facebook.  Based on the number of comments posted by my cycling friends, I think many of us had the same idea.  Why ride in the rain when you can relax at home?

As we continued to relax it was time for a little more coffee.  This time we put the french press into service.  We are big fans for french press coffee and make it most mornings.  However, it does seem to taste much better when you are relaxing on a Sunday morning versus slamming it down as you are getting ready for work on a Monday.

That’s how the rest of the morning went.  Sherry and I just hanging around the house in full relaxation mode.  It was perfect!  Now, it’s time to be a little more adventurous so we are heading back to the TV room to watch football.  But first, I think I’ll pour another cup of coffee.

Au revoir!
