Coldish and windy – it was windy all night long. I can hear the wind chimes and the sound of the flapping tarps covering various items on the porch. I, of course, want to get going out in the yard, but as is the case every year, it isn’t time yet. Just raking all the Item 4 (gravel) that is now on the grass instead of the driveway will take days.

By the way, the Boston Fern that I overwintered has done extremely well inside! No one is more surprised than me. In fact, it does a little better inside than out. Aren’t they supposed to prefer shade and lots of humidity? Well, we have a lot of light and very little humidity. The house is winter-heat-dry. Every time I look at it, I shake my head with wonder. I’m glad I decided to bring it inside for the winter. All I’ve been doing, by the way, is keeping the soil moist, and once a week or so, misting it. That’s it. I’ll be happy to transfer it outside, though, as it’s taking up all of the available space on the kitchen table.

I love many things about this pew, but this carved leaf is perhaps my favorite. It’s so lovely and unexpected. I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t hear Don say, “I love  this pew!” He thinks it finishes off the living room and I think he’s right. It will be truly finished off when we get the new sofa and find a rug that we like. But that’s weeks away.

Today, work around the house, maybe some work on the dollhouse, and starting a book that I have to review next month.

That’s all for now. Sorry I have nothing momentous to report!

Happy Saturday.
