The light. One bright patch of it on the wall. Her rose garlands. It’s a simple, quiet, beautiful scene.

Cereal and milk. I did remember something for breakfast. I think I’ll have my coffee with the snails.

I’d rather stay home and read in the hammock, write, watch the boys’ baseball games. It will be different next year.

More coffee. Morning pages in the sun. Hummingbird. I set an intention for the day.

I should have gotten the ice cream.
