this morning #1409.

this morning, we broke open a brand-new bottle of bubbly. one of the classier brands in her fridge. added a couple splashes of OJ. monday mimosas. a new tradition as of today. me & mom sitting in her garden catching up on all the hot goss. waves of greenery & scents of bloom all around us. we toasted to our reunion. in a brief moment of silence between the banter, i took it all in. she’s acquired a green thumb in her old age. it’s pretty impressive. in the way she was glowing while she talked, it was obvious that she was proud of this space that she’d built. i rather prefer this warmhearted version of her. she’s kind of a ray of light. way easier to be around than the miserable shrew who raised us.
