GARDEN PARTIES

Two areas of the house Nicholas and I are really enjoying lately are the garden and the library, respectively of course. I’m finding so much peace and creative inspiration in the garden. Nicholas is finally finding the time to read, or, we should say, the children are finally allowing him time to read. I can’t help but dream about garden parties, table arrangements, glassware and cut flowers. As for the books, I’d like Nicholas to share a literary quote for this and a few upcoming posts. No rhyme or reason to it, just something he came across and found interesting.

Here goes:

“The work is finished when you fall over.” — David Hockney, in The New York Times (quoted from Garner’s Quotations by Dwight Garner)
