-And did you get what you wanted, even so?
-I did.
-And what was it you wanted?
-To call myself beloved, to feel myself
Beloved on the earth.

Tiphen's mom commissioned a drawing of a watering can.  I made lots.  But this one I ended up giving to Simon for his birthday (it was my favorite)...

This is the one Tiphen and Olivier liked best.  (not me.)
