One of those smiley days

You know one of those days

when you just burst with chest wide smile!

One of those days, when you find secret streams,

and giant tractor tyres.

A day for small things that pull at the heart,

and flutter at your feet.

Where buzzing insects rattled the canal-side flowers,

and narrow boats trundle by,

where streaky clouds looked like watercolours..

...and the sun shone and a warm breeze ruffled the grass.

A day where we found a random water-trough full of stranded frogs,

which prompted Eldest to create an escape route,

while watched over by an observant Moss.

A day that had twinkly reflections on the underside of canal bridges,

and tall grass waft and wave as we walked along.

A day that made a silly dog sillier,

bouncier,

smile-ier.

 A day that ended with the most glorious sunset,

a heart filling, eye-feasting

sunset.

Oh be still my beating heart - I don't want this day to end!
