She stilled, captured by the beauty, the peace, the perfection of the moment. She loved living in the Pacific Northwest, and this was why. It had been a long, frustrating day. She’d planned to spend it puttering in her shop, closing at four and heading out to the island for a weekend with friends. But no. Instead she’d wasted hours attempting to converse rationally with a city zoning-bot who wanted to make her funky, friendly neighborhood into an industrial complex. And then she’d endured more aggravation at the DMV trying to explain she was, in fact, who she was. And of course there was that trial of patience at the post office, standing behind a very charming elderly woman who insisted on paying for everything with pennies. Which she counted out. One. At. A. Time. But this? This panoply? This glorious splay of color and nature and peace? It made it all worth it. She was ready for a break from real life, thank you very much. And it had nothing to do with that nasty scene with Rolf this morning. Truly.
