6/17: no lines

...at our package pick-up place, the pharmacy, and the grocery story.  Easy in, easy out.

6/16: writing

...about the illustrations of Pandora and Epimetheus in a deluxe new edition of Hawthorne's Wonder Book gifted to me by a friend.

6/15: meeting

...a colleague for lunch.  It's hard to make time for leisurely conversations during the school year, and getting together without the press of tasks and appointments felt luxurious.

6/14: beginning to listen

...to Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett.  I needed to spend some time with his witches again.

6/13: erasing

...portions of The Green Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang for my contributions to the 24 Hour Poetry Marathon.

6/12: making

...Polish strawberry sauce for pasta for the first time.  After I spooned the sauce onto the pasta, I added veggie bacon, diced cucumbers, green onions, black pepper, and goat cheese.  A nice summer dinner.

6/11: looking & listening

I went to Woolly Hollow in the morning to spend time taking pictures of the light on the creek.  I used to go more than once a month; now I go a handful of times a year.  I'm glad that today was one of those times.

This evening (as I edited photos from the morning) I finished listening to The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood.  Difficult, and well done.

6/10: smelling

...Mrs. Meyer's clementine multi-surface spray.  The scent added a little pleasure to the evening's cleaning.
