Lost diary entry: Up at night with 'Country Girl' by Edna O'Brien

July 28, 2019

Woke up late, on account of being up during the night (delightfully so, though, since I am reading Country Girl by Edna O'Brien), and was not too ambitious today. Coffee on the back deck with the Gullon digestives that arrived last week, notes for a Natalia Ginzburg review. 

Then a barefoot tour of the flowers in the front yard, so gorgeous and generous: day lilies and morning glories and hibiscus blooming in the two pots on the front steps. 

Notes of an unexpected summer soundtrack fill my head: "I know that you're in love with him because I saw you dancing in the gym."
