Features: I want a day like this: No alarm clock in the morning, no work in the afternoon, so I have time to plant some lavender or dill seeds. Where to plant them? In the bathtub, so they won’t be as cramped as we are. Help me move the bathtub to the balcony and set up a lounge chair next to it. I’ll knit sweaters, and when the afternoon sun is bright, I’ll lean back and take a nap. The herbs are fresh, the house is quiet, the second hand ticks, the faucet leaks, and time flows.

The originally hard, chocolate-colored soil, once thawed by the warm breeze, swells up, becoming soft and elastic.
