Since quitting my job at the public library I have been throwing myself into domestic work. Now don't get me wrong. I'm no Martha and while I love to bake, every day I wish someone else felt moved to cook dinner for the family. But the other day I put on an apron to hang out the laundry. I've been taking the kids to volunteer and even joined a month-long quilting class, where I produced half a pillow cover (oh all right, it isn't done yet) and a potholder. And I have started getting really excited about things like putting a cloth on the table and using linen napkins. Go figure. There may be cobwebs in every corner and cat hair on the couch, but at least the dining room table looks really fine.
