idyllic, mundane.

today's exploits were nothing beyond the ordinary.
went bicycling in the cool of the day.
worked at making hungry people happy. "do you feel better now?"
played a great deal of beethoven- his sonatas are my latest fancy.
thought a great deal on thoreau, sailing ships, and traveling.
made an exquisitely large loaf of ciabatta, and snacked on my fair share of yesterday's loaf- with a little butter and a nice layer of homemade raspberry jam. i find it to be a most agreeable enjoyment indeed!
i got to thinking- i could probably survive on ciabatta, raspberry jam, and tea [mit milch, ohne zucker, bitte!].
and that
                               turned into 
                                                                       this.


to far-flung
friends.

a jar of jam
a loaf of bread
a crock of butter
a pot of tea
a spot of milk
a lump of sugar
a shady tree
a breath of wind
a clump of flowers
a grassy knoll
a gingham cloth 
a wicker basket
a tin of cream
a bit of cake
a bag of cherries
a sunny day
a pair of bikes
a peal of laughter
a sky of clouds
a midday nap
a field of clover
a night of stars
a cozy fire
a woolly blanket
a rising moon
a restful sigh
a happy day spent.
