Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. My college roommate and her family welcome me as a last-minute guest for the weekend. She and I eat Indian food; visit her local coffeehouse, farmers market, and farm stand (where I buy a ton of apples, cider doughnuts, and delicious bread; and catch up.

2. Hours in the car mean I get to put a dent in The Kiss Curse by Erin Sterling, a witchy romance sequel to a book I read last year.

3. Eri and I head to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival, which is conveniently located in the town next to hers. The temperatures are mild, the rain mostly dissipates, we get to admire both animals and animal products, her childhood friend sees us and hands off her cider doughnut leftovers, I find a skein of sparkly punk rock yarn, and she procures soft, new gloves in a pretty hue.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
