and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
-- Rumi

Rainy spring day, after a sunny day full of yard work. Perfect for baking rhubarb upside-down spice cake and green pie (this week with mustard greens, baby bok choi, curly dock, garlic mustard, and a little pancetta).
Unforeseen problem with working on wire sculptures and the graphic novel (drawn on an iPad) at the same time: calloused fingers make it more difficult to use anything with a touchscreen 🙁

Raven, wood thrush, daffodil, sunshine. And Chili (who was so restless when we were inside) lounging in the shade of the fire pit.
