Right now:
~~~
Every window in the house wide open to the diamond-cut morning air.
Pumpkin spice latte with cinnamon steam.
Tendrils of wood smoke and the rustle of olive nets, hallmarks of November in Umbria.
The new Mumford & Sons—soul-shiveringly good.
Daisies, orange and fuchsia.
Facebook closed.

What is your “right now?”
these beautiful pictures make me happy, thank you!
My “right now” is dominanted by the cold, grey sky over Munich and a sick toddler at home who feels best entertained when watching youtube videos of barking dogs … and of course, my own sore throat 🙁
but baking a pumkin cake and the anticipation of Jonas afternoon nap are a nice compensation 🙂
i really want to come over right now! that sounds amazing.
i woke up late. bed was comfier than the idea of getting up and actually being conscious. lol.
my right now includes plans to take a shower and brew some coffee and get in a serene mood or something.
those pictures…are gorgeous.
the mug of that…oh my goodness.
So, so wonderful. 🙂 Just reading your words makes my anxious heart settle. 🙂 My right now? dog sleeping on the floor – fan blowing – strange birds singing – goats bleating – body hurting – soul grieving – heart finding joy in chicken curry, mangoes, and a new Agatha Christie to watch. 🙂
Heike – How was your pumpkin cake and toddler-down-time? I’m so sorry for the Munich gray, though I know it won’t look all too different here in a month. I wish, wish, wish I could fold the map to make us next-door neighbors for the day. Pumpkin cake and spiced lattes; sounds divine, right?
Beka – Ha! Having a comfy bed is one of the best/worst things in my life. 🙂 Oh, and every time I post a picture of coffee here, I think of you. <3
Krista – Oh no — I haven't caught up with your blog in the last week or so; I hope you're okay! Still, the simple pleasures you list and write about sound so down-to-earth-dreamy and remind me to pay attention to the beauties in my life as well. Thus, entries like this. 🙂
“Facebook closed” and “the new Mumford & Sons” – YES!!!!
Gorgeous. My right now: ignoring tests that need to be graded, still in my jammies, catching up on the bloggy friends! I am so behind! OH! AND SNOW!
Erika – Isn’t it good? If we still used CDs, I would have worn it out by now.
Megsie – I can’t even fathom snow right now, but it sounds magical. Especially when viewed from within jammies. 🙂
