Second day of Spring! Fittingly, I happened to look outside yesterday afternoon and four robins landed in the yard. Two pairs. Hurrah! It seemed like they’d just arrived from somewhere else, but I might be reading into that. We watched them, entranced, as they looked for food, right on the very first day of Spring.
This morning is sunny. My mood, as of yesterday, is so much lighter. I’m sure some of that is due to the knowledge that Spring has arrived. It’s also warmer and sunnier and I know it isn’t a mid-winter fluke, but the harbinger of what’s to come. I was talking to a friend yesterday – it happened to be her birthday – and she said the same thing. She felt a lift in her spirits and her mood.
We moved the sheet music cabinet upstairs to the office yesterday. As impossible as it might seem, we managed to cram yet another item into that space. We switched it out with a table that was next to the overstuffed chair. The table went to the wall at the top of the stairs. While playing with that space, we moved the big framed poster that was on that wall downstairs to the gallery wall and hung the beautiful watercolor that had previously hung above the music cabinet in its place.
Eventually, we want to fill this whole wall with art and take advantage of those high, skylight-lit spaces.
Pippa urging Mei to go outside with her because it’s Spring.
Both girls had been wearing sweaters, so they needed a change of clothing. Mei is rocking her Crocs.
Egg cups, part 4:
1. An adorable pig holding up an egg cup. Made in Japan.
2. A goose pulling an egg cup. This one is beautifully painted. Made in Japan.
3. Another Fanny Farmer egg cup. I have two of these – I believe they were a gift from a reader. You can sort of see the words Fanny Farmer on the base (in brown.)
4. And another favorite, this little girl in a bunny costume holding a polka dot egg. I am always smitten by this cup.
I’m off to start in on some more research.
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.
