1. High of 75. Yes.

2. The to-do list is short but heavy.

3. Bird chatter. The air has weight. It will rain today.

4. The way the light is falling into the room. I do love moody weather.

5. It takes no convincing. The youngest will come with us. I just need to get out.

6. Sunlight peeks through buttonholes in the clouds casting shadows on the hills and mountains.

8. I think we could belong here.

10. I talk to her until the bathwater gets too cold. She reminds me that freedom is also about uninhibited self-expression. True and honest expression.

11. See the beauty. Seek the truth. Take care. Stay curious.
