Okay, three! THREE beautiful things! One, I am starting to feel truly better for the first time today. I even did my laundry--although I still didn't eat much more than toast. The second beautiful thing is my downstairs neighbor. We have been sharing shipments of organic vegetables from our local CSA program, and I recently told her to take all the veggies as I was too sick to want to deal with them--I haven't been cooking and couldn't stand to waste all the good food. So tonight, there is a sudden knock on my door and it is Carolyn with a hot bowl of soup that she just made. I have somehow managed to fill my life with beautiful, warm-hearted people who bring me soup. The soup itself is a thing of beauty (okay, FOUR, four beautiful things...) and filled with colors--glowing oranges from the little moons of carrots, golden iridescent shimmers from the squash, deep earthy green in the chard, and shiny luminescent droplets of olive oil shooting off tiny lights like little gems tumbling on the surface. The photo just doesn't capture it very well, particularly the little tiny lights shooting off the oil drops (you just see the lights from the flash):
And now we arrive at the third (fifth? What are we up to now?) beautiful thing:
This is the tiniest tea set ever. The lids really come off, and the spout on the teapot works. To give you a sense of scale, that white thing the pitcher is sitting on? Yeah, the cute little pedestal? It's a sugar cube. Oh my.
