The niche



The whole house was covered in 
a fine gritty layer of tile dust
when we arrived.


I cleaned one niche
and picked the last remaining flowers
from the garden.


The bottle came in from the garden too.

Work proceeds at a glacial pace.
One day I will tell the story
of our niche in the country.

Flowers in the House with Jane.

  1. Lovely to catch up today and view all these images of beauty and serenity. Ahhhh...after writing my second of three grant applications...I needed that. I would have brought home the jug, too.

  3. I would like to hear that story, and I like your niche within a niche: small beauty while awaiting encompassing beauty.

  4. So perfect, your garden vase, with the delicate garden flowers speaks to me.

    As does your niche.

    Waiting for the rest of its story.

  9. The phrase glacial pace is lovely. As well as being slow it picks up all the detritus in its wake waiting to deposit them somewhere useful.
