The valley is still shrouded in mist. It's sunny up here. You make a pour-over, pull a shot, walk out barefoot to the bench at the edge of the knoll. The light moves down the mountain. The chickens start. By the time the second cup is poured, the whole valley is gold. An evening — Then the sky opens. The fire goes in the stone pit. The bathtub fills, on-demand hot water, open to the ridge. Wine from one of the organic vineyards five miles down the road. By full dark, the Milky Way is overhead. No light pollution.
