It was getting on to mid-day, but it was still calm like early morning. The air was a bit chilly. I was underdressed. A strange idea popped into my head: maybe I should move to the south side of the trailer and find a nice warm rock to sit on. I did so. And just basked in the sun, comfortably, with no desire for anything more than for it to stay just the way it was.
This strangeness excited me into a sort of reckless euphoria. Maybe I should take the little dog for a 30 minute loop. In the middle of the day! We did so, and had a great time.
In a long career as a camper and outdoorsman, I had never basked in the sun before. I had never gone for a walk in the 'heat of the day.'
