Saturday Scones

I woke up

and drank a cup of

Traditional Medicines Throat Coat tea

while sitting in my orange chair

straining my eyes

around the back of the building

through the window

glimpsing the rising sun

and the morning clouds.

Pancakes in the lower lounge

with the commuters

and jam.

A drive with Sarah Jones

to a new part of Portland

at a restaurant

called "Cup and Saucer.

Coffee in my hands

Scones on the table

Conversation

about the faithfulness of God.

Sitting now at the desk

I just bought myself Birks online

after all my credit card said I get double cash back

just because its almost my birthday.

Its still sunny.

I painted my toenails.

I have a pile of cards to fill out and write.

Date tonight with Katie Stephens.

Chelsea's birthday is today.

Its Saturday.

This is exactly as a Saturday should be

scones and all.
