It's title is "Drinking Coffe and Reading in the Garden" by Edward Killingworth Johnson. Other than the corset, I think this might be the ideal kick-off for a vacation...coffee, beautifully tended garden, book, serenity. If there was chocolate included, it'd obviously be an
afternoon on vacation. I love her expression...so totally at home in a rose garden. I wonder if she was sore after posing like this for who knows how many hours...
I get sore just thinking about all that mowing and weeding. If only we all had an expert gardener and property manager at our beck and call. <sigh> Have to say, though, as enticing as this is, I still prefer my messy garden filled with kids running and screaming. She will never know the joy of helping a child pull up a carrot you've taught them how to grow.
Hmmm . . . I would prefer the thought of laying in a hammock while reading a book. Someday, twenty years down the road . . . so many years to go.
ReplyDeleteUh, yes please! (Minus the corset, of course.) And I would love a lounge chair. And an Edwardian gardener (or 4) to go with it!
