- skipping rocks without edges
- a delicious moment of anticipation
- establishing rhythmic breathing
- being in a rose garden, peach orchard, or pine forest
- boardwalks weaving through the woods
- Bayonne ham
- installing cabinets
- the best bread for making croutons
- warm air and lyrical breezes wafting over you and running your fingers through the grass
- airing the quilts, thinking about the gardens, taking off the storm windows, going for long walks, and buying a new hat
