Bright Moments in a Dark December




French Roast coffee in my little Cretan espresso cup

a bulldog tied to a signpost outside the California Avenue shops

warm spiced cider in an orange-cream bowl

students leading horses off into the dark

a pine wreath on the radiator of a fire truck

ropa vieja simmering in the crock pot

croissants at Douce France (and the thought of butter and strawberry jam)

a rain-washed red geranium—Venetian red, alizarin, or crimson
