springtime pleasures and home scenes

Yesterday's golden hour: 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., captured by Joel.
Grape hyacinths and a red tulip picked by Henry.
Another golden hour view. My favorite chair.
Reading a biography of Alice Waters purchased here. Food writing is one of my favorite genres. MFK Fisher, the writers of Laurel's Kitchen, any good cookbook, Ruth Reichl. I enjoy cooking, but that's not the point. These writers invite me to live fully and enter a world where small details like food quality and origins are all-important, and then come back into my dirty-dishes-in-the-sink world feeling nourished by the time away.
