The Roots of Comfort
But ... to plant an orchard, t o enlarge a dwelling, to be always making life m ore comfortable and convenient, to avoid trouble, and to satisfy the smallest want without effort and almost without cost. These are small objects, but the soul clings to them. ___ ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE W hen I came across this quote recently it totally resona ted with me. I had just recently re-organized this storage closet in our garage where I store extra sets of china and decorative accessories. It ha s been quite a w hile since I have e ven opened it. I always get the urge to spring clean this time of year and tackled it with relish! It really didn't take me long and the result makes me very happy, hence the quote. It really is all about the simplest of th ings , wouldn't you agree ?
