Right after I took this picture she reached over and flipped that tree onto the floor. For the second time. I moved it.
The snow is gone. That's okay - we had it! Once it comes, the season takes on a new aura, and winter feels like it's really here. And after a dreary and very rainy and warm day, today was bright sun and chilly. And tomorrow will be around the freezing mark.
We now have new storm doors! My brother found a fellow who could install them, and he did the front door this morning. They are easy for me to clean! I can remove the glass myself!
The glass part goes way down, and it is going to take some getting used to. I feel exposed, and Daisy didn't feel the same when I put the chair there. If they can get accustomed to sitting on the floor, then both of them could enjoy the view at the same time. But I'll keep on the lookout for a low bench, lower than the chair.
It affords a better view of the brave little cherry tree.
That is one deep split. I suppose eventually the left hand part will just crack and fall onto the driveway.
Frodo and Sam have achieved Mount Doom, and the ring has been destroyed.
I'm at a bit of a standstill with my dress; the back keyhole facing is not laying flat, and I'm going to put in a few handstitches to do the job. And so I plod along, decorating a little, sewing a little, cleaning a little, reading a little, preparing for the Child to come.

The storm door looks good and I'm sure you and the cats will get used to it really quickly. We had some new downstairs internal doors put in our house some years ago that were fully glazed instead of solid. We thought we would find it strange being able to see out into the hallway from the living room and we might not feel so private. However, within a very short time we forget we had ever had solid doors and we loved the extra light we got in the hall!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are having difficulties with your dress. What with the disappointment of things not going to plan and the bother of thinking out a new approach everything grinds to a halt. I would be tempted to put it aside until later and concentrate on something else for a while. You may find you suddenly get an inspirational thought out of nowhere and are able to finish it with no bother at all.
Yeah but, Clare - I started this dress a year ago! :D I need to just apply myself. But it’s a bad time of year for that, I suppose, with so many things to apply myself to.
DeleteThe new storm door looks so nice! Perfect for the kitties once they are used to it. I love your plodding along…decorating a little, sewing a little, cleaning a little, reading a little, and preparing for the child to come. Mary @ Hilltop Post.
ReplyDeleteDoing a little here and a little there works better for me. And then, suddenly, a few things are done!
