A few small things, which feel quite large

I just ate a nectarine that was juicy enough to merit a shower. Mmm!

Tonight after the summer camp faculty recital, I saw my first lightning bug of the season. It pleased me so very much. It also made me wonder a bit about myself that one well-placed bug can either end/make-all-right-with the world.

I've been working full-time, freelancing for weddings mostly, teaching 3 (now 4!) violin students a week, practicing, and trying to sleep. But, the studio grows, and I am optimistic about its development, and my consequent employment.

Every day at lunch, I leave my building immediately. I head to the beach and either walk up and down the park paths, or sunbathe on the rocks near the lake. Today's highlights were: One (1) wandering black collie, a jewel-toned rainbow sail boat, a light breeze, and the bluest, bluest lake water I've ever seen. Today, I fantasized that I was on vacation in Florida, rather than on lunch break in the Midwest. That, dearies, is what we call an over-active imagination.

Over and out.

PS. I do still really, really want to write about Japan.

I love you Kristen. I whelm over your descriptions of a perfect luncheon by the lake and lightning bugs delight me too. I have them each night now in the backyard. I can just sit out under my yellow sun umbrella over my new cafe table and sip my cuppa joe and relish the blinking display throughout the yard. Wish you were here with muffin man.

Small things make or break me too. It did not used to be so.
