It‘s Wednesday but…
1)
quiet silence in bed; rest
Sit on porch & listen to birds‘ song
Walk, in nature, in my community with other walkers
Face in sun
Garden
Family; sisters
Breezes
2) poetry, cozy mysteries, memoirs like Geraldine Brooks‘ Memorial Days
The purpose of Brooks‘ immersion in the raw nature of Flinders Island is to finally,after 4 years, release her howling grief at the sudden death of her husband. These geese = Tony.

Tonight‘s hot cinnamon milk & a book.
And now for something entirely different. The pollen drove me inside and Ozzie (who is not allowed outside) is pleased to have his lap back.
Heartbreaking. Geraldine Brooks is one of my favorite authors and I met her once at a book festival, so this felt more personal.
