Mary Louise's windowsill

I was the lucky guest of Mary Louise Hagler, in Augusta, Georgia, this week, and, when I arrived, this was an arrangement on her windowsill. So, so sweet (and in a hand-me-down container that had belonged to her mother-in-law). Not a bad way to be memorialized---with flowers in a vase that once belonged to you. The arrangement is beautiful, but it was the shadows (real and metaphorical) that thrilled me about this.
