Day One Hundred


I slept fitfully.  My cat also did not rest.  Downstairs my landlord and his family did not ever go to bed it seemed.

I woke and had breakfast and coffee.  I wept through the sweeping and mopping, and felt better for it.  Outside my landlord cut the grass near the house.  

I finished the housework and baked a quiche and two blueberry tarts.  It was time for Bible Study and I rode my bike through the shortcut the ladies had told me about.

The bike raced down the steep hill and was carried up the other side quite a ways by sheer momentum. I rode home by way of the lake.  

It had filled a bit from the rain and the water lilies were blossoming.  Flame trees lined the edge, and the air smelled sweet.
