A recent painting (that I made for DH’s birthday). What do you think?
A three mile run tonight with DH along the muddy road. Rain falling softly. Leaves the color of ocher and rose drifting earthward. Cattle, with their ruddy brown fur and white bellies all facing the same way, grazing in knee high grass. The creek, a ribbon of indigo with cattails up to my waist.
Thai food, the three of us out on an impromptu date, at a tiny restaurant near here. The chalky sweetness of traditional Thai iced tea. Moo Ping. Tom Kha. Bean using a grown up fork to shovel fried rice into his mouth (his overall bib pocket was full too!) The leisure of sitting back, aimless conversation, and no clean up.
Ben & Jerry’s and a the latest Project Runway on Tivo.
And rocking Bean to sleep in the dark, his heart against mine. There is nothing sweeter in the whole world.
What are yours?
