I have been waiting until I finish the casing trim around the recently replaced windows of the bedrooms in my house before tying back the curtains in some pleasing fashion. The other day, however, Desiree and I decided we wanted to move a house plant into the spare bedroom. To bathe the plant in adequate light, we needed to pull the curtains aside.
I am just practical enough, I
would have temporarily driven a 16-penny nails alongside the window and hooked
the curtains to those. Fortunately,
Desiree said she would take care of the curtains.
Desiree solved the problem in a
practical and most handsome way. She
tied each curtain into a fancy knot that lifted them back just enough for a
little light on the plant.
“I like the looks of that,” I
told her. “That’s pretty good. Who taught you to do that?”
“Nobody,” she responded. “It’s just something I started doing.”
“Well, it’s wicked cool.”
No doubt about it, Desiree impresses
me. She is practical and pretty.
