Did you know that today, August 10th (according to Holiday Insights) is officially Lazy Day?
“You mean it’s only one day?,” the things I grow in my garden asked me when they heard the breaking news.
To celebrate, I showed these photographs of Palm Trees which I took on an island, albeit Governor’s Island, this past weekend.
Their response? A rendition of Spanky and Our Gang’s golden oldie, as they sang the following song:
“Blue Sky, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park.
Ice cream, daydream till the sky becomes a blanket of stars.
What a day for pick-in’ daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for hold in’ hands and being with you.
(Refrain)
Lazy Day, just right for lovin’ away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane;
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honey bee (‘neath a shady tree)
Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for (**’n’) you and me.
Blue sky, sunshine, flowers bloomin’, *children say-in’ hello.
Row boats, bird notes, People smilin’ everywhere that they go.
What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue
And what a day for think-in’ right out loud I love you.
(Refrain)
What a day for pickin’ daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for thinkin’ right out loud I love you.
Lazy Day, just right for lovin’ away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane;
Lazy Day, just right for lovin’ away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane.”
How about you dear reader? How did you honor/celebrate Lazy Day?
