working early

these identical candles burn at different rates; they are now different sizes. the power went out overnight, so i am reading by candlelight in the rising dawn.

one could make a habit of this. one could make so many habits.

perpetually catching up at work. perpetually catching up. meanwhile, the season proceeds at the wrong pace, early buds all scorched and withered by frost, leaves scarred at their tender edges. things go wrong and you make the best of it, over and over again.

reading: a frog in the fall, and later on, by linnea sterte. the children love this story, with its excellent storytelling.
listening to: chappell roan, like everyone else my age.
working on: doing work. how else to put this.
in the garden: it's time to cut down the standing stems for the stem-nesting bees.
