On Tuesday I had five wisdom teeth extracted and I've been reveling in recuperation ever since. I really don't think the procedure could have gone any better, such a relief! Here are a few things I've been enjoying in my down time...
A thoughtful friend sent me both seasons of Downton Abbey (which I'd never seen) and I am hooked!
New issues of Anthology and Kinfolk magazines. There is an article entitled A Quiet Life in Kinfolk by Julie Pointer that is especially wonderful.
A surprise of fresh blooms in tangerine and deep pink on my bedside table.
Listening to Natalie Merchant's Leave Your Sleep. An album of songs adapted from 19th and 20th century poetry.
Revisiting the world of Jane Austen. Do you have a favorite?
A dog who is an excellent nap companion until he takes over the bed entirely and, well, even then.
Gazing out an open window to the garden where a pleasing rain drizzles as I type and sunlight begins to come into view.
Carrying this poem in my pocket.
