Sleepy Afternoon
How perfect is it then to fall asleep on a fine May afternoon, in the comfort of one's own recliner, lulled to sleep by the buzz of early summer insects, the whispers of a hot, gentle wind, and the voice of a loved one reading from a tome you appreciate exclusively for its rhythm and melody?
Quite perfect, indeed.
For those interested, I am currently reading Geraldine Brooks' latest, entitled March, to Adelaide each afternoon as we ease into out of our Fitting-In Period and move into the comfort and steady reliability of our Togetherness Period. I'm enjoying the novel immensely, and recommend it wholeheartedly to Civil War and Transcendentialist fantics alike, lovers of Little Women and Cold Mountain, or simply those looking for an entertaining summertime read ...
