“To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.” Jane Austen
The Day's Joyful Decay Languorous days like thin batter smoothly poured, filling the crevices and cracks of an otherwise ordinary hazy day with lazy pleasures now piled up in the sink, an upturned book, a pack of cards, and chilled white wine warming in the rosewater light of autumn swoon, the stillness undisturbed in the day's joyful decay.
