FOR TODAY: May 12...

Outside My Window...
Low, racing clouds are tangling in the masts of the sailboats

I am thinking...
Summery, sandy thoughts

I am thankful for...
This poem given to me by Marianna for Mother's Day:
The Hummingbird
Daintily you sip
Topaz, Ruby, Onyx gleams
There you are, then gone.

From the kitchen...
Asparagus, roast beef and bleu cheese wraps

I am wearing...
A brilliant cotton sundress in retro greens and turquoise

I am creating...
A new summer notebook for grocery lists and notes

I am going...
To consider what it will take to complete a writing project I've been dabbling with this spring

I am reading...
I just began At Risk by Alice Hoffman this morning in the cockpit with coffee, a rosy sunrise and a blackbird chorus

I am hoping...
this blustery weather settles by Thursday

I am hearing...
Rigging clanking on masts, waves slapping the hull, the dinghy bumping the boat

Around my home...
Buena Vista Social Club is blasting (the first song is perfection, isn't it?), Marianna is crafting a mask and I'm debating on Italian Roast coffee or Lavender Green Tea this afternoon.

One of my favorite things...
Sand between my toes while watching herons fly home in the evening

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Organization!!! The holds they are a-bursting!!!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...



Thank you, Peggy, for the thought-provoking Daybook.
