Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. I spent four days in Connecticut with my parents, during which time we celebrated my birthday, made homemade scones with homemade clotted cream (I only had a hand in the former, not the latter), played pool, and relaxed both out in the sun and in front of the fireplace.

2. Karen and I spent an afternoon together, which included an unexpected concert, when our current lunch spot was hosting singer-songwriters, in addition to our normal walk along the river and hot beverages.

3. Rudi and I were able to join the throngs sitting outside on the patio at our local yuppie grocery store/bar to take advantage of an abnormally warm February evening.

What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
