cactus bloom

lemons

Cactus flowers and lemons are growing right outside the window, and the grassy hills are already summer-brown, and the world is a palette of warmth and gold.

I've been going easy on myself. Lazy girl, basking in light, letting me be.

Gathering thoughts, stories, lemons.

Tomorrow we're going to Utah.  I'm in a Utah state of mind and looking forward to it.
