Pumpkin Cottage for the Holidays

Where thou art,
that is home.

                  Emily Dickinson

This lovely poinsettia is brightening the garden
here at Pumpkin Cottage.  It came for the
University of California, 
Riverside's Botanic Garden plant sales.

It's a native, similiar to the the poinsettias of Mexico. 
She likes our hot arid summers and cool winter evenings.

Our people, Hannah.  I don't know Hannah personally,
but visiting her cottage makes me feel right at home.
Most of my family and friends are minimalist and feel anxiety
visiting Pumpkin Cottage. Joe flatters me and has purchased
some of my favorite things like the bird clock.

Pumpkin Cottage and everything collected within
wrap us in comfort.

Pretending we are aristocrats

Do you recall the Hollywood episode of I Love Lucy?

Joe sent me the link...visit  Hannah's cottage.
What Hannah says is true about collecting,
it happens over years.
