What will be for dinner today?

Hot air balloon off in the distance. Clear sky. It is not yet 40 degrees. How do they stay warm up there?

I find two really healthy rosemary plants and stick them in the cart. Looking at them makes me happy.

Looking forward to the day when I don’t have to keep talking about electronics and v-bucks.

Clear blue sky. Starlings singing so loudly. Bright yellow sun. The crunch of pea gravel under our feet. The gentle bubbling of the fountain. I imagine it will be filled with lily pads in the spring. Beams of light coming through the thick naked vines of the arbor above us.

I really wish I could see the art.

Blue cheese biscuit with prosciutto, microgreens, crispy shallots, and a housemade jalapeño jam. I want three more of these.

The bottom of the chocolate has gold lions.

Details matter.

I do a little more laundry and then head out to the front deck and lay in the sun. I hear birds and the closing of a car door and my child’s voice flowing out of the window.

Glad I chose a simple dinner that required little effort.
