<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThree beautiful things from my past week:<\/p>\n
1. My roomie came down for the weekend, and we had a lovely time catching up on all our news and all the news we had about others we love. It was laid-back — an outside lunch, a walk in the woods, browsing in bookstores, and playing with my cats — but just what I wanted with an old friend.<\/p>\n
2. I organized an in-person meeting of the garden managers, our first one since we took over the running of our community garden earlier this year. We covered all the open questions and left feeling like we each had a few tasks to handle, but that overall we were in pretty good shape.<\/p>\n
3. I started adding some songs into this year’s Christmas cd playlist. I’m not really sure where November went (wasn’t it just Halloween last week?), but it feels good to be moving on it.<\/p>\n
How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
