Ten things. Right now. 1. my daughter's violin lesson...Vivaldi's Spring...the melody, the harmony...the joy 2. sunshine on my desk 3. the pup lying by my feet 4. feeling thirsty...need water 5. books, papers on my desk...a bit of a mess 6. clouds in the sky...the bare branches of the birches against the sky...the hint of [...]
