Home

Our homes comfort between spaces of rituals and living.
Between the every day, it caters to the people in the home and garden. 

  When I look out our window this time of year I begin planning the cleaning and gardening.  I always find it reassuring that the birds are nesting and tending families. With the weather so pleasant, an unscheduled tea in a charming teacup seems a perfect ritual. 

In our nest there are papers, reading material, and music on tables: the products of living. So, I always try to keep a few spaces special. For instance, a petite bouquet reminds of beauty, whether its created by our hands from the garden or a gift to ourselves from the market.

This one came from the store, and it was only ten dollars. The plastic vase is reusable, and the perfect size for blossoms from our garden.

It is the people that make our homes.

After working in the garden in the early evening, this bouquet was just the right size to move where it could be admired beside an enjoyable cup of tea in a vintage teacup.

And here is the last harvest of the Meyer lemons and oranges gathered by my daughter:
some for tea, lemon butter and bars; some for the neighbor; and some for my sister.

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

Marcel Proust
