Significant Joys

1. Living five blocks away from one of the largest libraries west of the Mississippi

and finally taking a morning to get a card

I am salivating, honestly. Five floors of words, ideas, truth and fiction....

I find libraries to be holy places.

I missed you, borrowed book smell!

2. Tender, fragile evidence that my Maidenhair Fern, Marian, is appreciative of the filtered water and near-perfect light she receives.

Fiddle on, babies!!!!

Fleur de Sel cupcake with a side of Anthropologie-gazing.

Oh, yes.

Sigh!

Him.

My heart sings arias about his face every time I behold its feline grace.

Her.

Ahhhhh- the cuteness!!! Please, blow up this picture, and look at her miniature sweet face!

(incidentally, yes we still have a half-full room of boxes: two moves in one year and we kinda said "F*** it - let's unpack when we get a dining room table and a few cupboards"....yeah. Our priorities are in order - love, happiness, business, everything else that could possible matter, dining room set.)

These mice are evvvvvverywhere.

Janey brought one to bed and proceeded to play at our feet at 5 AM.

This is not a complaint: every creature should be so lucky as to have more mice than they could ever chase down

and every pet owner should be so lucky to have a happy small chirping kitty playing at their feet while the sun begins to shine.

Life is such a gift.

Such a gift that I couldn't even keep count of my joys today :)

Love,
