flowers in the house

It's such a pleasure to be able to step outside

and pick a few flowers. A few all I need.

I own (far too) many vases and pitchers and jars,

all lovely flower holders

but I keep going back to the same ones.

This pitcher, from my father's family's 

West Virginia farmhouse. 

I remember big farm breakfasts there--

maybe it was used to hold milk?

And this cranberry glass vase

was a gift from my father.

I know I've written about both those things before.

I have family on my mind.

The wedding is less than two weeks away.

I wish my father was here for it, and to get to know Alexandra,

he would have loved her.
