Secret Garden



Lately I have been into reading. I have also been into finding great spots to read. When I try to read at home, I get distracted and I start cleaning things. I mean, really cleaning with a toothbrush, Comet and multiple sponges. Egad! I need to get better about plunking myself down to read. God forbid, I make it through a chapter without getting up to check on the sourdough starter or to stop that damn dryer buzzer which sounds like the end of a basketball quarter with me sitting courtside.

The other day, I decided to give the 18th Street Coffee Shop on Broadway another shot. I used to go there when I lived near it, but now that I have moved a few blocks south, I rarely make a special trip that way. The garden patio is brick, with padded iron furniture and mosaic-tiled tables. It is quiet, sunny and not windy. There's a fountain in the garden and did I mention that it's NOT WINDY? It's adorable and perfect for a brisk March afternoon, when the beach might be a little too cool for concentration.
