Fish Chowder

Today was full and wonderful. We got up early, and I ran down to the farmer's market to get fixings for fish chowder. It's fast and fun and delicious. Matt pulled together a great salad. Then, at noon, our dear friends came over for a splendid lunch.

After that, we finished our taxes and submitted them. Whew. Then dinner.

There is so much to be happy about, even while the world is in meltdown mode and warmongering is happening.

Sunrise alert!

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,
