Kamala Harris, the daily thunderstorms, the blue grosbeak at my feeder and the Olympics are all currently filling my cup with joy. And I LOVE that portrait of your house.
I have a bay window in my old, Victorian house and I finally built myself a window seat in it last weekend, ten years after moving in. It's the only place in the house that gets proper southern light so I also hung plexiglass plant shelves in all three upper windows and have started filling them with plants trailing down. It needs a cushion, but I haven't figured that part out yet, so I just filled it with folded extra blankets and throw pillows, making it basically a well-lit nest to curl up in and watch the world pass by while I drink my coffee in the mornings or read a book. My future winter self, who will spend the long, cold months curled up there, is feeling so joyful.
I’m looking forward to the new Exorcist movie with Ellen Burstyn reprising her role as Raegans mother. It just has that edge of your seat feel to it, which I love.

That’s some good stuff! And yes—Natalya is so talented. The detail in the portrait is incredible.

This sounds perfect in every way, Asha. Here's to a well-lit nest!
I’m so glad. 💗
