TARA DILLARD: Lunch In The Conservatory

Lunch In The Conservatory

Choosing: menu, dishes, silver, linens, making a fire. Anticipating guests arrival. We walk in the garden, lunch, conversation, laughter, & hard truths too. Life is welcomed in my Conservatory.

Preparing to carry desert & decaf to the Conservatory, above.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Pic taken in my kitchen. Ancient soup tureen bought in Augusta, GA ages ago when I lectured there; been filled with fresh apples ever since.

You should see the floor, counters, sink, each a disaster.

Wise women know, build the Conservatory first. Priorities, priorities, priorities.
