sunday: elderflower champagne & homemade schnapps in tomis's garden, a lesson on cider and making jam, a cold night warmed by many fires, falling asleep in an old sleeping bag under the stars.

monday: russian bread and tea for breakfast, a trip to leonburg, two scoops of melon gelato, a walk about, a sleepless night made right by sunrise.

today: a lazy morning spent under a pile of quilts, a long bike ride through a winding forest, the first pages of anna karenina.

life is good.
