Late today because of the time change.
The puzzle I’ve been working on is one I took at stab at about 3 years ago. Back then, I started with the borders, as I usually do, and I just couldn’t get them to work. There were a few missing pieces and a couple that didn’t fit anywhere. So I gave up and put it in the closet.
This time, I started from the middle of the puzzle and did the two side borders last.
Same problem.
I’m glad I started with the flowers this time because, at the very least, I was able to see the finished piece. It really is lovely. But I can’t donate this one because it doesn’t have all the pieces.
On to the Renoir puzzle, which is in the ‘find the outside edge pieces’ stage.
Well, my friends, we are going to get walloped by a nor’easter tomorrow and Tuesday. The forecast has fluctuated over the past 36 hours, but it’s starting to look like we’ll get at least 8 -12 inches of heavy, wet snow. There will be high winds. It will be quite dangerous out there.
I pray for the safety of everyone in the path of this storm, for the safety of trees and animals, and I hope we don’t lose power. In the meantime, Don is out right now buying bottled water in case we do. I can hear birds singing right now and it’s beautifully sunny. You would have no idea what’s on the way.
Crap. It’s very worrisome. Don thinks I worry too much, and he’s right.
It starts tomorrow morning, but I should be able to get a post up. Then, we’ll take it day by day.
We watched Everything, Everywhere, All at OnceΒ last night, which is nominated for lots of Oscars.
I hated it. In fact, we didn’t finish it. It was like being assaulted with a strobe light for over 2 hours. I get the message of the movie, but it was all special effects. I’m not even sure why the performances were nominated – how could you chart any through line and character growth with all that going on? Lots of people disagree with me on this one, but both Don and I disliked it. It’s the kind of movie that is so different and edgy that all the critics hop on board and praise it. Bravo to the critics that called it out for what it is – and isn’t.
Wings of DesireΒ said it so much better. Stranger ThingsΒ also has lots of time/place/different world special effects, but the story is enhanced by it, not lost.
Okay. Today is the calm before the storm. Literally.
Stay safe.
Happy Sunday.
