| 2/20/26 Cocoa Legato, Greenwood neighborhood |
After an errand in the area, I took my fitness walk through
the Greenwood neighborhood, and imagine my surprise (ha-ha) when I found myself
back at Cocoa Legato. My intention this time was to sketch some chocolate
makers through the windows that offer a full view of the kitchen operations.
Unfortunately, not much human action was going on, though a machine was rapidly
spinning a vat of melted chocolate (upper left in spread above). The scent of that place!
In addition to a mocha made with Peruvian chocolate, I bought
a chocolate bar made of 70 percent Columbian cacao (a chocolate that sounds
like a drug, if there ever was one). I had no intention of getting a vegan
chocolate chunk cookie, but halfway through my visit, the baker came out with a
freshly baked batch still warm and melty from the oven! No human could resist
that, right? (Although I’m generally not a fan of vegan baked goods, the large
chunks of melty chocolate made up for any missing eggs or butter!)

I’ve recently been thinking about what my sketch journal is
good for. Of course, the bulk of its pages are sketches during fitness walks
(although those are fewer and farther between in winter), people on public transportation, and Greg’s cohorts. A new pair of boots or a pair of
crows on a wire – they’re all fair game when I keep a sketch journal. |

When I’m especially busy, a page in my sketch journal might be the
only sketch I make all day. If it weren’t for my commitment to sketch in it
every day, I might skip sketching altogether (and that’s a slippery
slope). I’m grateful that the little book keeps me honest to my self-commitment
and gives me a handy place to put the random bits of my life. |

| 2/23/26 No fresh pastries?! You can bet I won't be going back there. Too bad because it was very nicely appointed. |
