A week when Wendy MacNaughton’s post on Instagram
became my screensaver and my mantra.
A week when sunrise dispelled the darkness
and welcomed the day shortly after 5 AM.
A week of buttercups nodding in the fields,
and a flat of impatiens waiting to be planted.
A week when even the statue of a dog donned a mask.
A week when cheesy Eggplant Parm answered a craving, 
and a new recipe for homemade hamburger rolls
was a success and became an instant staple.
