My niece and I had picked a few drooping hyacinths yesterday. ๐ŸŒธ Rach's first trip to Texas, to visit her Dickensian darling ๐Ÿ–ค hellebore, or the "Lenten Rose" - paradoxically represents anxiety, and hope ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Early birthday gift from @sketchesbyboze: the Nonesuch #DavidCopperfield! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŽฉ Together with the #NicholasNickleby he gave me last year, they are just the loveliest books I own ๐Ÿฅน After an overnight shift, it's nice to have some holiday downtime to read. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š #TheQuincunx by #CharlesPalliser is such a Dickensian, strange enigma of a book! Mysterious strangers clad in black, corpse candles, dark passageways, Chancery curses... Birthday/Christmas gifts from @sketchesbyboze ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ (besides the 1863 London maps, of course!)
