a bit of today

If today was only this, life would be calm and serene.

But the dialogue is missing -

C: Put your hand in.
O: I do! I do!
C: The fish will bite you.
O: No!

And then Liam fell face first into the pond.

Today was a long day. A good one. But, still, a long day.

Sometimes I get just what I need to make the day a bit sunnier. My peonies finally bloomed and they smell better than you can imagine.
