Ten.One Thousand, Four Hundred & Twelve

1. Waking up with the birds.

2. Early morning light.

3. These candied kumquats though.

4. Barely 10 am and I am already tired from the day. What else do I need to do?

5. The stretching is deep and good and cleansing.

6. The house is small but cute. There are garden beds and a vineyard view. It’s quiet. I should like it more than I do. I know he will not like “it doesn’t feel right,” for an answer.

7. The more he says it, the more nervous I get.

8. I give them each a rootbeer candy from the deli.

9. The weather is absolutely perfect.

10. Lovina for dinner. Ceviche. Little gems salad. Levain with the silkiest butter. Pork bolognese with truffle butter. Flourless cake with espresso ice cream and cherries.

11. So tired.
