Quiet, before sunrise reading. And coffee, always coffee.
Back to work today after a week home. What better way to ease myself into my day than to drink coffee and read Madeleine L‘Engle? ☕️📚

L‘Engle lived in Goshen, CT for 55 years until her death in 2007. Most of her published writing, & creating family was based here. The house remains in the family, but I am hoping to drive by it this summer.🔽
