Another strange day here in Californian paradise. The birds lilt their song on jasmine-laden winds—so sweet it nearly pricks your nose—the sun-dappled branches undulate, blossom and leave-piled like so many green squid arms.
And the warmth of my front porch as I turn my wan and freckled face to the sky! It makes my upper lip shine with salt and sweat, my head lolling, heavy.
But beneath these impossibly bucolic-feeling days lies a sinister feeling. Like a storybook witch whose confection contains a potent poison.
And so I find myself turning inward and inward again to read and write. To think and sew. To stretch and tell stories.
This week — dare I say as always!—we have a host of sexy, brilliant tales (and even some advice) to keep your mind and your loins limber.
Ever and always, Katie (+July)
