The Pleasures of Home

Since work moved home, I have moved inside. Yes, I spend hours outside, but elsewhere. 

Until today.

An afternoon on the deck overlooking the woods, settled in my zero-gravity chair with a good book (Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin) and iced coffee, I rediscovered the pleasures of home among friends -- beautiful words, mabel orchard spider, tiny bright red fly, hummingbird, Swallowtails aloft, trilling birdsong, blue sky, trailing clouds.

I should do this more often.
