Nocturne

Didn’t quite finish, perhaps the equivalent of one full bookshelf left. Ran out of boxes. Again. This week though. Then onto files and office supplies.

Again the night is quiet here. A distinguishing characteristic of this property is quiet after about 9 pm. A quality difficult to package, to sell as an amenity, but for this introvert, one of the key charms.

(Edwin Howland Blashfield (1848-1936) – Spring scattering stars)

The dogs are asleep. Kate’s asleep. Most of the books have gone into seclusion for the winter. This is a more minimalist version of the study, the basement than existed at the beginning of summer. It feels good.
