How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
Elizabeth Barrett Browning – 1806-1861
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight…my sweet Princess!

There are few things in life more lovely than a patchwork heart! Except maybe whatever delicious looking thing you are cooking right there! Thank you for sharing these lovely pictures with us at Handmade Monday.

We survived the renovation 16 years ago but would never ever do it again! How long have you been without your kitchen? It’s rough, I know.

They started the day after Halloween, I actually am doing better with kitchen gone than the laundry room gone. The laundromat is not that fun on a Saturday afternoon. The results will be awesome…I keep telling myself.
