I’m writing from Connecticut, where I’m spending a busy week at my parents’ house, working remotely and hanging out with my grandmother and the family pets while my folks are visiting my brother on the other side of the country. <\/p>\n

Here are three beautiful things from my time here this week:<\/p>\n

1. My folks have a hummingbird feeder and at least two species (one green and one black) who zoom around the house on a daily basis, drinking deeply from my mother’s flowers. It’s impressive how chatty they are and how curious.<\/p>\n

2. What I thought were several ticks on the dog’s leg turn out to be small, round burrs. I’ve never been so glad to be wrong.<\/p>\n

3. Coming north means that blueberries are still in season here. Gramma and I have been enjoying them as a daily afternoon snack.<\/p>\n
