September Song

A blackberry foraging session with Dad ∙ Two pups, running wild at my feet with every turn ∙ Marlena by Julie Buntin ∙ Pulling out jumper after jumper from last winter’s stash — still good to wear ∙ Lists upon lists: ‘things to buy’, ‘what we want from a home’, ‘budget for bathroom’ ∙ Jam making ∙ Library afternoons, carefully remembering how to use the Dewey system ∙ Getting to use my incredible Yuyu hot water bottle more often ∙ Long-sleeved smock dresses and loafers ∙ Writing in my journal (by hand) more days than not ∙ Baking: dark chocolate chunk banana bread, by The Mother Cooker ∙ Birds twittering high above my head on morning dog walks ∙ A friendly ‘hello!’ from Coco’s owner (Milo’s best friend) ∙ A Teapigs earl grey as the sun sets, a smidgen earlier each evening.
