sunny days

It was sunny and hot on Sunday and we were in the park. With cakes, music, Pimm's (or Pimmilar...ha), blankets, and each other. Warm all week but one day and it makes me feel so full of energy (sun helps, too). I've been in the office every day this week at 8:30 and I am tired. I can't do it all? I'm finding.
What I want to do--make big paintings, work on prints (I feel like I need three years just to resolve the things I want to work on now...but I know I would never 'just' work on prints), write this damn dissertation (well, the chapter I am on now is due tomorrow and then I will start working on Amélie! --so that is nice), write poems, read more poetry, organise every kind of poetry event, go dancing on Fridays, make pizza, bread, cake, jam, garden.
What I did today that made me happy: went to work, wrote a poem, had a meeting, did some poetry admin tasks, went home, made my garden with three friends. Drew beans, radishes, thyme for markers. Got full of dirt. Smelled the green. Made pizzas for our dinner. Saw the evening sky turning pink, with the moon in it.

What I did today:
go to lunch with Mom, sew some children's tops, bake carrot cakes, play with, feed, and read to my kids, pick romaine lettuce from my front yard, knit a little on a beret...
and wore a skirt you made and felt lovely in it all day.
=the grey one with patchwork panels on waistband and hem. i love this skirt so much. do you remember it?
Sounds like a wonderful day with a delicious looking pizza! May all your sunny days continue to be as bright as this one.
Mmm, I want to live inside this post. Good days are so precious.
