It’s Not a Mistake

It’s not a mistake to stand in the sunroom in the late afternoon on a winter day. The sun is especially friendly in the fading hours, as if it knows it is being granted only a short visit. On the back wall, the hoya plant is a solid listener, less judgmental than the orchids, which, truth be known, strike me as a bit too self-aware.

The geranium is just hanging on and whispers.

The palms are appreciative but absolutely quiet.

The lemon tree is sturdy but not producing. Still, the lemon tree and I enjoy a shared moment or two in a final embrace of full daylight, me with a Cold Smoke beer in hand.

It’s not a mistake to sip a Cold Smoke beer in the sunroom’s sunlight on a winter day.
