June 5, 2018

Cold and raw, this morning. Busy, but in an exciting way. Full of lists. Weekends in New York and Vermont and right here at home, watching the peas grow. Jury duty: my civic obligation. Listening to One Direction five years late. Long lunches with friends in town. Doing planks even though they’re hard. Saturday afternoon ice cream cones. Reading on the stoop where the sun is. Singing Hamilton to myself as an anti-anxiety measure. Planning a newsletter. Buying a bird feeder. Settling in for the summer; plugging in the backyard lights.
