view from Bay Lake boathouse

…is where I have come home to retreat for the week, but continuing on a hybrid continental schedule involving going to bed with the sun at 9pm and then up at the uncontrollable crazy hour of 3am to read, work, write, and wait for the sun to show itself for what turned out to be about 15 minutes of glorious lavender sunrise before disappearing for the day behind welcome rain clouds providing a perfect guilt-free excuse to stay cozy in the porch and on the laptop for the better part of the morning before heading to the kitchen to prepare a soup of bounty from The Wedge and St. Paul’s Farmer’s Market – tomato/zucchini/onion/cauliflower/bean/kale/potatoes/spelt/parsley/carrot/lentil – that is smelling the place up in a good way and making the cozy cabin cozier.
