He’s gone off to a seminar for the day, I’m having some chai with almond milk. I wander about the house, peeking here and there at the work I did yesterday, reorganizing the kitchen (with Rob’s permission, of course!). ‘Twas quite the undertaking, taking everything out of that cupboard, everything out of these drawers, bringing things up from the storage pantry downstairs, consolidating various stashes of coffees (that nobody around here drinks), lining up all the canned foods so that we can see what we have… It’s a good thing, not a type A control thing. (I don’t think anyone could accuse me of being type A – have you seen my house???!) But I mean, he has enough spaghetti sauce in storage to open an Italian restaurant! It’s good to know what you already have on hand. (Yeah, right, Lulu – when’s your next trip to the art store? Ahem!)
Back to my reverie… I take a walk in the backyard. A plum tree blossoms bright pink, a magnolia’s blooms are just beginning to open. Three daffodils here, a few more there. It is tranquil. I am seeing this garden spot a year or two from now, all the other spring flowers that will paint this edge of the yard. I feel so lucky and blessed that I will be coming to live here soon.
I think I am going to paint the white picket fence blue with white polka dots…
