A Good Time

 

May 21, 2023

Back in Asheville before noon, at first through considerable rain, barreling through without a stop. Went grocery shopping and hacked out four days’ worth of culms (some so tall they had to be taken down in stages) before 1 PM. Then a joyful revery on the back porch, eating the sandwich I had bought. The garden stood in perfect beauty. I thought of my valediction to the desk girl at the hotel, “Thanks! I had a good time.” It made me think that on my last day I, going on, will turn to my Host and say, “Thanks! I had a good time.”
