is there anything better...

Then finishing your schoolwork and chores early so you can get outdoors?
playing with your brothers on a crisp autumn afternoon, jumping into leaves...
working up a good appetite for a thick slice of Grandma's oatmeal cake...
and then, oh boy! Mom says "Load up, because we're off to the Library"
where you find that longed-for-last-book in the series?
clutching it all the way home in anticipation...
snagging the comfiest chair...
stretched out, turning pages slowly...
with a warm, lazy cat to stretch out across your cold feet?

Nothing better, for Sam.
