June 3. Low morning cloud & little birdsong now. Where the goats have cropped the grass right down in the field, the earth has taken on its dry summer scent: sweet & warm, like hay with maple sugar.

A few of recent days’ small lovely things worth noticing/noting for #SmallBeautiesHour — new trail shoes for a new month, new decade of living; California buckeye trees all lit up with flower candles; teasels! And a gentle lunchtime zoom session on cultivating wonder w/Josie George & Sophie Haworth.

Saw this via lovely Laura McDonagh of Projecting Grief. The ideas about very personal, idiosyncratic celebrations of life/grief struck me; I'm fine these days with my mum's death, but given that I wept just reading it, I'm wanting to more consciously mark the small rituals I do in memory of "us."

Once a year I spoil myself with fresh cherries from the pricey farmstand. Today is the day. And I’m pleased to report they go pretty darn well with the chocolate-cardamom buckwheat cake. I hereby encourage others to do nice things for themselves, even though (especially as) the world is wrecked.
