The domestic queen has been dusting off her crown. When I moved into my cozy apartment last September I did not have time to enjoy the charm of my deck and I decided to rectify that situation this year. I bought an umbrella for my table, an adorable glass candle lamp, some butterfly twinkle lights, a small grill and (gasp!) real plants! This has become my peaceful oasis each morning & night. Even though I live in the city I have some lovely countryside to gaze upon.

I enjoy my morning coffee and protein bar while I listen to the million birds that seem to inhabit the trees close by. It amuses me to watch Mz SassyKat growl at the birds--as if she is kitty enough to take them on!

Last nite I finally got home around 9pm after meeting with two clients---I believe I was babbling insensibly with the last client and she sent me on my merry way. I headed straight for Panera for nourishment. I got my favorite sandwich---mediterreanean veggie and they have brought my favorite salad back: strawberry poppyseed chicken salad. I headed straight for the deck and basked under the glow of a rosy moon as it rose in the sky. It was a lovely way to end the evening with my faithful furry daughter sitting by my side.
