(I promised myself the title of this post would not have the word “grey” in it.)
Come on, Brooklyn! Really, all this grey? It won’t end! There’s a little sun today…in between an awful lot of clouds…and there was a nice hour at the end of the day yesterday when the sun popped out, but it has been few and far between, I have to say. Also, I just made the critical mistake of looking at the 10-day forecast…for which there is somehow not one rainless day planned!
I’m still crossing my fingers that the weather will magically change because, really, this can’t just keep going for many more weeks. One comforting and bright thing in the midst of all this gloominess, is that the cherry tree behind our apartment is right on schedule with some beautiful fruit!
Meanwhile, I’m working away on a brand new wholesale catalog that will be ready in a few weeks (assuming June and early July don’t throw any major obstacles up in our way!), and I’m getting ready to print several new cards starting next week! You can’t say I’m not fighting the good fight, at least!
We all need a reminder that these tiny days are part of a larger rhythm and our temporary frustration is only that – temporary. And, of course, Mr. Berry has some great words on just that point. “Grace” by Wendell Berry.
those look amazingly delicious, especially considering our lovely 101 heat index yesterday in st. louis. enjoy!
You have a cherry tree by your apartment!! That is so great. I hope that they don’t have too tough of a Brooklyn skin.
I am so.jealous. of your cherry tree! We might plant a sour cherry tree soon enough, but you are very lucky to have a regular tree growing nearby!
