Antiquity in Bloom

Life has been teeming with activity - yielding gobs of material for a blog, yet leaving little time to share it with all of you! That incongruous reality could be overcome by better time-management, but nobody wants to read about that today!

To placate the urge to post something (anything!) as we wait for this year's case of the "spring busies" to mellow out, I thought I'd drop a little poem here. I'd like it to serve as a footbridge from from the doldrums of winter to the liveliness of late spring at Providence Cottage. And it absolutely must be mentioned that I was inspired to write this poem whilst doing the mundane

chore of c l e a n i n g the hearth.

Topping it off is this fantastic photograph of what I have the privilege of looking at every day, thanks to the amazing brick-laying and general awesomeness of my dear husband. (More on that on our old blog here.)
