Scenes From The Weekend

Bread-making, wine-drinking, and warm apple-turnovers. A jewel-toned bouquet from the local flower studio. Peppermint tea with spoonfuls of honey. A freshly-scrubbed home smelling of cranberry and clove.

It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I awoke to golden sunbeams on my pillowcase and breathed in crisp morning air on a walk to the bagel store. We collected fallen leaves in a brown paper bag for my students to make pressings and collages tomorrow. I've been writing again and making serious plans to do it more often. I submitted a manuscript for publication review last week. I'm both terrified and thrilled that it's finally released into the world.

For now, I'm going to enjoy what's left of the weekend, and the daylight. But first, another slice of bread. Gotta finish one loaf before I can bake another.
