Glimmer #15: Ahhhhhhhhh

Image by me. Right before I sipped.

Well, this one is easy!

It’s Saturday. I slept in, fell back to sleep twice, and when I finally got up, I saw that the weather was cloudy, foggy, and gray.

Perfect morning for some self–indulgence.

I made a cup of my favorite Dean’s Beans Espresso and reached into the fridge for my usual half-n-half.

When what to my wondering eyes did appear but a can of lightly sweetened whipped cream, left over from Thanksgiving. The little rascal must have been hiding behind the milk!

I pulled it out and quickly topped my steaming coffee with a beautiful swirl of cream. And voila! My morning was made.

A nice warm blanket, a blast from the mini-split heater on my neck, a dog at my feet.

And whipped cream topped espresso in my hand.

Does it get any better than this?
