It’s one of my favorite spots in our little home: the corner of our conversation couch that edges up to the front bay window. It’s a place in which a book can be read, or a nap taken. It serves as its namesake for talk between friends. It is an ideal location to have a cup of tea. It’s also entirely unremarkable, and maybe that’s why I like it so much.
The pillow in that place is worn and torn, its fanciful fringe falling off the edges and in need to sewing and repair. The cushions are slightly indented, and more comfortable for it. The vantage point gives a view of the front yard, and the Norfolk Island pine. Soon the inside will be greener than the outside, and that’s the time of the year when this corner of the couch comes into its own.
