Things that did in fact happen:
. salmon salad (reminding me of the little teashop two miles uphill from Lake Louise, where I ate salmon salad sandwiches and homemade biscuits with fruit jam and drank a pot of fragrant Earl Gray tea after the breathtaking hike)
. a tiny live evergreen tree, decorated with “JOY”
. Satsuma tangerines (the word in Chinese similar to luck)
. birds and berries on a gift bag
. asiago fennel sausages
. exhaustion, the usual December overload, despite all my efforts to ward it off

Dear Christie,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. It is a review of the simple things in life I've always cherished and pampered myself with: a basket of tangerines, a quiet view from the window, the smoke from a cup of tea rising against the light.
What you wrote on December 8th sounds like a verse from H.W.Longfellow's "The Rainy Day". I published a post on his poem a few days ago.
I'm a professional actor and a freelance writer. I was looking for followers and ran into your blog. I saw you have "The Name of the Rose" as one of your favorite books. I posted an article last week with my experience reading Eco's novel.
I think you might be interested in what I write. If that is so, I'd be happy to have you as a follower, leaving comments anytime you would like to share some feedback.
Again, I love your blog and I'll be happy to be your follower and stop by anytime you post something new.
All the best,
Jay Paoloni
