There Is No Bad Here

Apple picking is a sublime goodness.

Waking up early but not too early, tidying the house, drinking tea with friends, hay rides, still-warm cider doughnuts, a morning spent climbing trees, picking apples, and sampling new varieties by eating them straight off the tree is quite possibly the best way I could imagine spending a day.

Coming home after this and baking apple-cheddar scones and apple turnovers, ordering pizza, and heading to the theatre to watch 'Serenity' was just icing on the cake.

I haven't felt this happy, and this comfortable, in a long time. I have a half-bushel of Cortlands and Jonagolds, I have a new box of Yorkshire Blend tea, and I have friends that are equally willing to run around climbing trees or sit in my living room reading and chatting and eating.

It's all good.

Yay you!

From your recent posts, it has sounded like you really needed this, and I'm so glad you've gotten this wonderful, comfortable, happy time.

Sounds like it was fun. Sorry I missed it. While your call for Serenity came too late for me to get there, it's just as well, since I hadn't yet realized I was too tired to do anything else by then. That set in soon after.
