Imagine orange

Written last night: 

Dear Friends,

Halloween is not supposed to be relaxing, but mine was. 

🎃Take Zing! to Tony

🎃Walk the mile across I Street Bridge to Burgers & Brew in West Sacramento (West Sac is a separate city just across the bridge.) 

🎃Relaxing lunch there with Patrick & Steph. I like the way people at tables around us are laughing and relaxed at lunchtime. We laugh too.

🎃All at once I realize it’s autumn. I decide to spend an hour cooking. That’s just enough to get lentil soup bubbling and make some gingerbread. 

🎃I am willing to share some of this with my neighbor Sandy, but she declines. She doesn’t like lentils. 

🎃She comes over with a sandwich, and helps me try some pinot noir that might be good for Thanksgiving. 

🎃She loves the gingerbread. I didn’t have time to make applesauce to go with it, but vanilla ice cream was fine. 

🎃I draw these marigolds. Imagine they are orange. Orange marigolds are the flower of Día de los Muertos, November 2. 

Happy Halloween!

Love,
