so old, so cold.....

ok, so.....i walked on the treadmill, graded exams, studied my next chapters, and then finally settled into a sweet nap in the beam of sunshine that had settled onto the loveseat in our bedroom....one can only sleep on the loveseat if one curls up on one's side....alas.....the sun sunk behind the horizon, and the temperature dropped drastically, and i woke up cold, and somewhat stiffened into my position, and i am now trying to warm up with a cup of (decaf) tea....i have taken the time to finish the random piece of reading material i fished out of the basket behind the sofa.....a basket of travel related media....the booklet i read was about sissinghurst garden(s?) in kent....one of the earth's best gardens...the booklet is old, and in black and white as was the style in the 80's....surely the national trust has moved on to full-color booklets.....i enjoyed reading my own list of roses from the elizabethan-walled rose garden....i actually own a few of these roses and covet the rest.....a spectacular rose is the centerpiece of the white garden.....a trellis rose that one could entertain under.....the white garden is quite special, with its silvery shades.....ah, to be in england during garden season.....
