Made the perfect breakfast this morning, thought I'd share it with everyone: This morning was just what I needed. Stayed in bed until nine, roused gently by my two dependents, along with the warm, diffused light from the skylight above the bed, soft fresh white linens and the sound of a distant train. Then, I had some wonderful french press Cafe Mam organic French Roast while I did a couple of quick chores for 20 minutes or so, while having a first listen to Ben Harper's new album, Lifeline. After that album, I put on Ray LaMontagne's Till the Sun Turns Black while making vanilla cinnamon pancakes and more coffee. The pancakes turned out perfectly, thanks to random happenstance, and my beloved cast iron skillet, but this particular one was the piece de la resistance. It was so beautiful, in fact, that I couldn't bear to put anything on it.
Yesterday was barbecue day, it seemed, and it was pretty hot out there. Fortunately, I was able to slake my thirst with some very nice (and fun) folks at the end of the day with some Sheaf Stout and excellent food. Hm, being a bit toasted may have had something to do with how late I slept in.
The week after next is my third vacation week of the year, and I have some visits planned, as well as the annual camping jaunt into nearby woods. Found out last week [how could I forget?] that I had actually bid on [and RECEIVED] the week in December I'd been wanting, so I can now relax about it. Plans are already in the works for that week, too.
Choir has started up again after a year's sabbatical, and it feels like everyone is energized and ready for what's next. I have finally finished mastering the concert DVD from two years ago, and am now setting up for duplication [for which I may use a service, as my studio's not really set up for duplication and it takes mongo time]~ I just want to get it done and done right, so I can distribute it, satisfy everyone who's been waiting, and move on to the big doc project and focus all of my energy on that.
Fall really is in the air. I love that feeling.
