Why Do We Always Break the Things We Love?

 

As a gardener, a lover of flowers and all

round general collector of tchotchkes,

I have a lot of vases.  Ohhh, do I have

vases.  So why, while I was cleaning the

kitchen did I have to hit this vase with

the copper kettle and send it smashing to

the floor?  I loved this vase, it went so

nicely with my sunny yellow kitchen and

could hold a giant clump of wildflowers

and just look so perfect... and it was the

blue I love... and it was polka dots!

 

I knew I shouldn't have bothered cleaning

the kitchen.
