At around 1am, this morning, I finished Wendell Berry's Fidelity. Yeah, went to bed early, planning on getting to sleep at a decent time. Ha. Read until the book was done, but glad that I did. The only thing is that it got my head to moving. So many thoughts and I just couldn't settle. But this was all in a good way--I'm not complaining. (Sara, didn't you say that Hannah Coulter kept you up? I get it now!) Bonnie and Dotsie...are you proud of me? ;)
Anyway, the final plan today is still up in the air. But some stuff is in the works:
- Mixed a double batch of Ranger Cookie dough last night, and hope to bake them and share them with a couple of neighbors. Not sure when that'll happen.
- Veggie soup for dinner, with those yeast rolls that didn't get made last night.
- Washing the second load now, first one sitting in the basket for the boys to hang outside.
- Need a couple of things from the store, but maybe the drugstore will do for today.
- And will dig in my library stash for another Wendell Berry to read. I so loved Fidelity, and was amazed at the whole thing...can't describe adequately how much it meant to me. I cried, laughed and just sat there. He reminds me a bit of Marilynne Robinson---there's something very American and comforting about both of them.
- Must go now. Glad I was able to sleep until 7am (dogs were agreeable), and have a jump on the day. It's cool and beautiful out there. Must enjoy it.
