Digging Out (2004)
“Above it are flower beds filled with tall orange poppies, their wide black eyes huge; cow parsley and yellow marigolds; lavender asters; mounds of honeysuckle growing over the side fence; and ivy. I wonder if it is deliberately haphazard. I think it must be.
The cottage has a Dutch door and the top is wide-open. As he pulls the latch on the bottom and I go in ahead of him through the mudroom and another open door, I realize how nervous I am. I am trying to contain myself. The immediate feel of ...the place as I look around is that it is delightfully warm and gracious. Two leather chairs flank a huge open fireplace; books, magazines and papers are piled everywhere; a small wooden table with four chairs around it; a chandelier with six candle lamps—each with its own small, opaque shade—hangs over the table; a waist-high wooden sideboard; and a Welsh dresser with delicate blue and white plates arranged on it. An open window is framed by brilliantly flowered drapes.
