But safe at last (though missing quite a crew).

Good morning, all! It's getting chillier instead of warmer this spring, but I suppose that doesn't matter if I'm staying in like this. Stay safe, stay clean. I hope to find you all well on the other side of this.

See you then!

Another pleasant morning and an old standby for breakfast. I know I usually speak of the breakfast itself, but this little mug holds a special place in my heart. It's barely the size of my hand and made of red clay. I purchased it in a shop in Greece near a restaurant where I ate some fried cheese that I haven't been able to find a comparable replacement for. Sometimes I sit and think about that cheese and wish that I'd asked what it was.

Just checking in with a breakfast post. There aren't many of us left on here but there does happen to be a lot of stress out there lately and I just wanted to remind everyone that everything ends eventually and this will too. We just have to be patient, clean, and quiet for a while.

            I miss sitting by the water and writing while fish dart through the weeds. It was always better than being at home with all of the noise and emotion that accompanied such a full household. But now my home is my pond. A gentle breeze sways the curtains that frame open windows and my cat curls up beside me, quietly sharing the space. I can hear the cars from the highway if I try hard enough. The sun shines through pine and oak outside the window. I smell fresh-cut grass. My baby sleeps quietly in his crib, dressed in those tiny, soft clothes that people coo over like the infants they’re meant for. Everything is okay. 

And harmony blesses alone.

I break and sound turns red or black.

Sourdough toast with maple sausage patties and black tea with vanilla 🤩

Just the same or not?

Poached eggs with parmesan on sourdough toast. The drink is a hibiscus and rosehip blended tea ☺

But sound can travel through this place.

Fried bacon and egg sandwich with parmesan cheese on a seeded sourdough baguette. The drink is chai tea with milk 🤗
