Pleasures of the Day


This is the array of flowers I picked today. I wish I had my camera with me in the garden. Everything is looking so spectacular! And the sweet peas are so fragrant. If only I can set up camp next to my garden and sleep next to the heady ambrosia of scents, I'm sure to have very sweet dreams.





And these are the various sizes of strawberries I find growing in my garden plot. I think I found two giants today. First I'm gonna find ya, then I'm gonna eat cha! Sadly, many were found by slugs and snails before me. O'well. Got a bunch of tomatoes as well as basil, an artichoke, and a lone spear of asparagus. I'll be having my veggies for dinner tonight!




And you'll probably find me at various times of the day, sitting in my newly acquired wingback chair. I've always wanted a wingback chair. I dunno why. But it seems like the perfect chair to be sitting in with a good book. It makes me giddy just looking at this chair in my room. It's leather, with a down filled seat-cushion and I sit in it every chance I get. It is my official "Reading Chair." And it's super comfy. Yes, it's the "Comfy Chair" as well.
