today we are opening the new coffee. it's a rainy morning, our cat is fed, and you have put two chairs out for us to sit — our legs crossed, with our hot cups of coffee. in the afternoon we will go and bring some oranges home from the tree. our little nasturtiums and pink roses have bloomed; some of them will live in the vase on the table. the mosquitoes were driving us crazy last night. i think we should get more repellents. you're making a stew for lunch today, and i will make something sweet with the frozen blueberries from last winter. the cups are almost empty. but we will sit here a little longer watching the cat nap, the drizzle fill up the flowerpots, clementines drop from our tree.
