a list

:: lunch and meandering with a dear, dear friend. time stands still when i'm with her even though we talk about her children.
:: hopeful phone calls (prayers are appreciated)
:: red apples on my desk in a blue dish
:: graceful oak leaves, whimsical grape leaf and perhaps a tiny elm leaf
:: the spider packed up her web and left for parts unknown
:: warm slippers on my feet with a sandwich for dinner, simplicity
:: anticipation of a better night's sleep
:: the last piece of apple crostata (warmed) topped with lemon ice cream
:: a new book in my purse, courtesy of a friend - a voucher for $25 in traded books in my purse. perhaps a shopping trip tomorrow?
:: the first cool day of this fall - gray overcast and dark but for some reason i don't mind.
:: pulled out the makings for chili to put in the slow cooker for tomorrow. i love chili.
:: clean sheets and a full night.
