A good day's work
S and I have spent the day in her kitchen, planning and debating our various solo and collaborative projects, dividing tasks and figuring out timetables. We both have a better sense of control over our work now, and if it's delusional, it's nevertheless comforting. As a reward, I'm now on her back porch, sitting on a bench in the evening sun. It's warm. It's warming my feet and hands. She has bleeding heart, petunias, and lobelia blooming. Right in front of me are enormous dogwoods and azalea harboring a bird feeder that cardinals, sparrows, grackles, and catbirds are visiting. Beside me is the screen door to the kitchen, and one of her housecats periodically comes to it to check on me (or on the birds; try to guess which).
This is a fine reward for a good day's work. Tomorrow, it's back to Earlville. Tonight, dinner at a good Indian restaurant.
