My little slice of Paradise

This is my early morning view — the gardens, pond, and woodlands in my parents’ backyard, viewed from a deck chair while tea brews in the kitchen. The sky is overcast, but the surrounding greenery gives off its own glow such that I hardly notice.

I have a lap full of knitting, a companionable buster dog racing through the lower forty, and utter solitude and quiet while the rest of the house sleeps. I confess — I might take the rest of the weekend off from posting.
