Three beautiful things from the last week:

1. Rudi and I are going to see a baseball game this afternoon, so I took today off from work. I intended this morning to be spent ultra-productively with knitting, a bike ride, shopping, cleaning, and perhaps some baking. My body, on the other hand, seems to have had other ideas, and I slept until 11. With the game starting at 1, it seems much more reasonable in retrospect to spend the intervening time lounging. Maybe I’ll fit some more productive work in between the game and the movie tonight.

2. In the last week, I’ve been to the library once and bookstores twice. I’ve come home with some books for me and some for others. I do love books — and so do my friends.

3. Summer fruit has arrived with a vengeance! In addition to the raspberries I picked while on the bike ride Saturday morning, we also brought home a big haul from the market. The market basket overfloweth with blueberries, gooseberries, black currants, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and methany plums. On Tuesday, I cut up three pints of cherries that had been sitting in the fridge from before the California trip and hope to make a cobbler as soon as I get to the store to buy sugar.
