this heart needs women and a good meal outside

so i've told you how hard it is to stay indoors these days

with such incredible color and cool air in the mountains,

and i've told you how much i love sharing words with women,

and how very much i love a good meal in the form of a picnic...

so it won't be hard to imagine how dearly i loved this afternoon

spent with marte & mercedes, powerhouse women with beating hearts.

there was cheese, cous-cous, squash, crisp apples, smores that made us sick,

a cookbook to satisfy our eyes, and a brainstorming session

that ordinary dreams are made of...i am scheming on how to 

convince these women that picnics in the mountains with me

should happen daily. is that too much to ask?
