Chilli

Just home to be welcomed by the very first chilli on the five bushes I planted months ago; I'm overjoyed as the passionate red is just what my winter garden needs.

It's a perfect afternoon: cobalt sky, no sound but that of lazy afternoon birdsong and a dog barking far away, confirmation via sms that my three day road trip is on this coming long weekend, anticipation of dinner with a great friend this evening at Stone Circle Bistro...and, most importantly, a sense of perfect contentness within (not only that everything is exactly as it should be, but also my utter acceptance of the status quo).
