Don’t want to get used to waking up this late.

They have cleared away so many trees. Gaping black and brown holes in the landscape.

I suppose I will need to make regular ice cream before I branch out into dairy-free versions.

I stop at the top of the stairs and survey the room below. This is a good space. This is the right space for right now.

“…goldfinches represent beauty, relationships, health, tranquillity, and open and healthy communication.” But what do they represent when they’re dead on your balcony?

We talk while I rebraid my hair. It makes the time go by even faster.

Already the end of Wednesday. Next time, I will plan better?

Bo ssam and riesling.

Post-dinner walk. Cooler. Backs of thighs burning just a little. The silhouette of mountains. Poppies closing up for the night. The hum of the cars below.

This particular batch is saltier than usually but I’m still going to eat it.
