Staycation | Day 1

How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then to rest afterward.

Spanish Proverb

As the 21st century's plague turns our worlds topsy-turvy to the point that nothing seems sure, glimmers of silver shine through the turmoil. Plans for a foreign vacation have morphed into the multi-hued greens of backyard grass and the reds of geraniums and robin breasts. I raise my glass of Franciacorta to the first day of my staycation, to the cheerful coneflowers, and to the tranquility shimmering in the birch tree's bower over my head. Peace of mind is here.

Salute!
