Mockingbird Hill Cottage
The weather report? Thunderstorms and rain for the next 6 days. Now, I love a thunderstorm, especially a summer one – although Scout is so fearful of them that we spend most of our time trying to comfort her – but 6 days of them is a bit much. I have to grab some time this morning to mow before the skies open up.
Rain does leave beautiful drops on the flowers, though, doesn’t it?
Doesn’t this look like fun? I read about this blog party and thought I’d join in on Friday. If you’re interested, just go to Marie’s blog and read all the details. I have a few things I can share – and even more in storage (by that I mean my friend’s basement in Detroit) that I can’t get to.
I emerged from the guest bedroom/office/husband’s recording studio with achy muscles, having made some major headway with the mess. Things are more organized, many things were tossed, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Quite frankly, we sometimes think we should eliminate the bed and buy a sofa bed. So much space would be freed up. We don’t have guests that often and it seems silly to have a bed taking up all that space. My only qualm is that it is a good mattress, everyone always says they love sleeping on it, and I know sofa bed mattresses can be a little problematic. We have only 2 bedrooms here – and two adults who do a lot of their work at home. We’re still pondering.
Yes, it is Scout, Riley and me posing on the porch. Notice our chippy/rusty glider. I always think I should paint it, but I sort of like it this way. The dogs have on their decorated scarves that I made for Kelee Katillac’s cause. She has extended the deadline and if you would still like to decorate a scarf for an incredibly good cause – helping homeless dogs – please stop by her blog and scroll down for more information. It only takes a little bit of time!
Have a great day everyone!
If you need me, I have disappeared into the black hole that is our office/spare bedroom/husband’s recording studio. I am taking advantage of said husband being away for part of the day so that I might begin to sort through all the stuff that is in there. It is currently a holding pen for boxes of books I used in San Diego, mail that needs to be saved, 4 guitars, a mandolin, speaker, mike stand, microphone, a bed, baskets of stuff, a desk, the other computer, my printer from San Diego, a chair, winter coats….we sound like hoarders, don’t we? We’re really not. I just have to find some way to organize everything that makes sense and makes the room more functional. Any ideas?
If I don’t show up by dinner time, send someone in there for me.
