Ten.One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Sixty-Two

1. Almost time.

2. It’s always in downward dog that I see all of the crumbs I missed.

3. Already hot.

4. The return of the heat is always a shock. But in a few more weeks I will be laying out on the front deck, face toward the sun.

5. I get there just in time to catch the bottom of the 8th inning. The youngest is up to bat. He swings on the first pitch and it dribbles down the third baseline and stays fair. He makes it to first base. He’s the scoring run. He just really needed that.

6. This view.

7. I tell her that earlier this morning I was thinking about where we would need to go next. But I decided I really, really like it here. There is nowhere else to go.

8. Still no groceries. Tra Vigne it is.

9. One day down.

10. But really, can I give up bread and cheese?
