After taking inventory of my life over the past 24 hours, this is what I have in stock:

* last night, a glass of wine and fireflies sparkling amongst the hydrangea

* this morning, a cup of tea and the punctual arrival of the friendly tiger swallowtail floating and weaving through the backyard

* a near head-on collision with two preoccupied goldfinches

* a surprise fly by of a great blue heron

* the single and spectacular sighting of a hummingbird

There are also the items that pertain to the consumption of my future; lack of employment, my health, sustainability, economical-refill sized uncertainty.

I’ve placed them at the back of the shelving so they are hard to reach.

The splendour of nature leads to brand loyalty and improved customer satisfaction.
