The Sweet Doing of Nothing July 23rd,2011
 |
| Patti is the gardener. We appreciate and eat. She plants, weeds and waters. |
Our first day of official vacation involved rising early and paying bills, answering and emptying email in-boxes until 3PM. This seemed an inauspicious but necessary start to a week without internet and sometimes even without cell phone as we would see once we were au Canada ( O,Canada ?). I felt guilty for being the cause of such a late start. But we were rewarded by the beauty and hushed industry of bees and butterflies as soon as we arrived. The slanting light of early evening gave the garden a luxiourious butterry wash. Ah. En vacance. I forgot all and simply enjoyed the “dolce far niente” – Italian for the “sweet doing of nothing”.
