Dive into a cedar-lined pool of black cherries and prunes,

through a cloud of cumin to land on a cushion of bread crusts

A rustic tart of raspberries and blueberries, straight out of the oven,
vanilla ice cream melting over the top

An early morning walk: smoke rising from the chimney as you wade through
rich, wet pastures, while munching on bacon and sipping a cherry vanilla latte
