Elsewhere

I am Away. Easter weekend, I am in one of my favorite places in the world, an Air BnB with a massive amount of history behind it. I can’t tell you that history, or you’d pinpoint my location exactly. But suffice it to say, it’s infused with freedom and victory.

A week or so ago, I caved and ordered As Ever’s Bloom Box curation. This is not a paid post – you can’t get the box now. But it arrived, unannounced, this morning. I put the package in my car along with my suitcase, and drove. And spent the evening doing flower arranging, which is quite relaxing after battling traffic and weirdo drivers.

Peonies, gardenias, mint – a lovely set of flowers with loose-leaf mint tea and sage honey (with the comb!). My Alexa is playing WQXR’s broadcast of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. I’ll spend the weekend nestling – reading, writing, knitting. Yes, I could do this at home. But sometimes it’s just nice to be Away. Not at home. Elsewhere.
