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.
About this season of The Bear - The season felt truncated, although the actors, per usual, were superb. I am with you there. That poem by Wendell Berry is the best thing I've read lately. It's everything and it covers everything I am feeling right now and need to hear. Thank you. :)
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!
