DonnaWine tasting at the sleek cellar tonight. Six varietals on the counter. I picked the right two, the one for me and the one I am keeping for the next time you come over. The bottles are at the apartment 🍷

DonnaSunday in the sunny window seat in the cashmere robe. Tea, the Times, the new biography on my lap. The whole afternoon is mine in the slow way I have earned. The cushion next to me is yours 📰

DonnaSaturday at the museum in the Hopper exhibit. Spent two hours in the room with the late paintings, the kind you stay in. I want to take you back next weekend and have the conversation in front of one specific piece 🖼️

DonnaSunday in the sunny backyard garden with the pruning shears. The roses are finally happy after a slow start to the season. So am I, in the way I only am when there is the chance of you walking through the gate later 🌹

DonnaYoga class this morning in the sunny studio in the athletic gear. The flexibility is the gift that keeps giving, in the way you said you noticed last weekend. Come to the class with me Sunday 🧘♀️

DonnaNew fitted cream silk blouse arrived. The colour was the only call. Standing at the sunny apartment mirror in it. I want you to see it before I take it off, which I will not until you have 🤍

DonnaNew soft cream cashmere robe arrived. The seamstress knew what I would say. Standing in the sunny bedroom in it now. Come over, the bedroom is the right temperature and the robe is not staying on long 🤍

DonnaLate dinner at the new Italian place tonight. The chef sent over a small plate the kitchen had been holding. The corner table was the right call. Next time I am taking you with me 🍝

DonnaPilates this afternoon in the sunlit studio. The core is the foundation, the kind of thing you know better at thirty than at twenty. Walking out of class glowing. Come meet me at the corner café in twenty 💪

DonnaSunday morning yoga on the mat in the sunny park at dawn. The sun did most of the warming, the class did the rest. Walking home now in the athletic gear, in the mood for a slow breakfast with the right person 🧘♀️

DonnaNew soft silk pyjama set arrived. The seamstress called when the colour came in, which I appreciated. Standing at the sunny bedroom mirror in it. The kind of set I keep for the right kind of evening 🌹

DonnaNew fitted black tailored blazer arrived this morning. The seamstress understands me well by now. Standing at the sleek mirror in it. I want you to see how it sits at the shoulder. Come over tonight 🖤

DonnaWalked the kids to school this morning and then took the long way home through the sunlit park in the soft trench coat. The walk is the part where I think about you, before the rest of the day starts 🏫

DonnaWalked through the gallery district at golden hour in the soft trench coat. Saw three new artists I am going to keep thinking about. One of them I want you to come back with me to see. The walk itself was worth the evening 🖼️

DonnaNew soft cream silk scarf today. Wore it on the walk home in the wool coat. The drape is the kind that catches the wind right. I want you to be the one who notices it next time I am at the corner 🧣

DonnaHosted dinner at home tonight. Six friends around the sunlit table, the fitted cream blouse, the pasta worked the way I hoped. The wine ran out. The chair to my left is the one I save for the right person. It was empty tonight. You arrive when you arrive 🍷

DonnaLong bath tonight in the fluffy white robe. Wine glass on the rim, the candle the friend gave me lit on the shelf. The water is the right temperature. Get in with me, the second glass is poured 🛁

DonnaLate lunch at the sleek wine bar alone with one glass of red. Earned. The stool next to me is empty and the bartender knows my order. Come find me. The afternoon is the slow kind 🍷

DonnaNew espresso machine arrived this morning. The kitchen has a new soul. Standing at the sunny counter pulling the first shot. I want you to be the second person to taste a coffee from it. Come over in the morning ☕

DonnaLate afternoon at the indie bookshop. Bought three hardcovers. Saved one for the train home and finished a chapter before my stop. The other two are at the apartment. One of them is for you 📚
