Three beautiful things from the past week:
1) As I lay in bed yesterday morning watching the snow drift down, a flake gets caught in a spider web and glistens. Because it’s so cold, it lasts for quite a while.
2) While walking from the Metro to my office, I pass a woman and a child, whom I assume to be her grandchild. The girl, whom I guess to be around three, is bundled up in a tiny purple parka; the woman in a long dress coat. The woman sing-counts a marching beat for the child and laughs when I catch her eye and smile.
3) Last Friday was warm enough for me to sit outside at lunchtime to read my book and eat. I found a spot along a pedestrian pathway and was able to bask in 65 degree sun unaccosted for a whole hour.
Lunch outdoors, with 65 degree temps and a great book, sounds lovely.
I’m still smiling thinking of your emails about the tea kettles. Grudgingly, I’m accepting the whistle now, and sometimes I even manage to shut off the stove before the whistle sounds out! 🙂
