Savoring Spring

A list to savor, and cement, this short spring.

• Plush bathrobes
• Silk robes
• Truffle fries
• Lillet blanc
• Jacarandas in bloom
• A long night out
• A quiet night in
• Early dinners (which wouldn’t make sense anywhere else but L.A.)
• Peonies everywhere—Trader Joe’s, little flower shops, my desk, my bedroom
• A trail of peony petals (he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me…)
• Pockets of sunshine just before evening (in L.A., we’re headed into that season of June Gloom)
• Perfume workshops, on its (non-exhaustive) history
• Good friends
• New friends
• Vintage cookbooks (to read, not to cook with)
• An empty office to fill
• Feeling fulfilled
• Voice notes—but only with a select few
• A hot shower
• Dancing again
• Takeout
• Being taken out
• Writing
• Sleepy phone calls
• Langorous mornings
• New beginnings, on the precipice of being
