Perfect today

Currently, I'm surrounded by a vase of lavender spider chrysanthemums I found at the store, a bottle of Chateau St. Michelle Riesling, two blueberry pies waiting to be baked (berry pies are so very beautiful in the making), a used measuring cup filled with metal measuring spoons and a graceful tumble of squeezed lemons, and a new painting project I've undertaken, which means most of my dining table will be covered in newspaper.

Sometimes I think about the ways I want my life to turn out, and some days they come true.
