There’s a beautiful trellis behind my house. It sits up against the fence that separates our yard from the garage of the house next door. As a tenant in the front apartment, I spend my time on the porch rather than the back lawn. That’s in the lease, unfortunately. But when I get home from work in the afternoons, often before anyone else, and when the sun is shining, there’s no one to prevent me from spending a few moments with our secret garden.
It has been a couple weeks since my last post. Sorry about that. I’ve been very busy at work, and while it’s not an excuse, it’s my justification for not writing. When I was doing my 365 Photos project, I was neurotic about posting every day; one of my goals this year was to be nice to myself, and I can only be neurotic about so many things. Sometimes Emily and I just have to watch Mad Men. (And sometimes I just have to grade essays.)
Anyway. The theme of today’s post is, believe or not, NOT me making excuses. No, it’s about spring. This week has been getting warmer by the day and I think it might be here to stay this time. At any rate, the flowers in my yard are blooming. I hope the same is true for you, wherever you are!
I haven’t centered a post around a single photo recently, so I thought I would today. The sunlight coming through our windows around 6:30 tonight was beautiful. I took 6 photos of the living room, probably my favorite room in the house, and opted for this one for a few reasons. Firstly, it maintains our privacy more than the others. Secondly, it shows off the ancient windows, which I happen to love. Thirdly, I like the contrasting colors as the eyes move from one side to the other. Finally, I’m rather proud of hanging curtains with Scotch tape and thumbtacks – I did it a year and a half ago and they’re still in one piece. Famous last words.
