Yesterday was very cool and cloudy. A seasonal change had clearly settled in. Today is much the same. The leaves are turning, the limelight hydrangea is turning pink, the skies are gray and we have to turn the heat on in the morning. It was a rather melancholy day for both of us. Suddenly, we found ourselves looking ahead and talking about buying a snowblower that is more modest in size. Our current machine is very, very heavy and I can’t even push it. Don has trouble with it and with his hand problems, I think we need something either of us can navigate.
I always hope that my small paycheck can go into our savings account, but it looks like some of it will go towards a new snow blower. A good investment, for sure, but isn’t it always something?
I took it easy yesterday. I sent out notes to the actors, read a bit, took a short nap.
And I decided it was time to change Harper’s clothes. I came up with this:
Having mint green hair does have an impact on color choices. I put the outfit on her and then started going through my hats. This one was perfect.
She’s really, really gorgeous. I wish you could see her in person. Ferro Dolls are – to me – exquisite. The hand painting that she does is so detailed. Tiny little red veins in the cheeks, shadowing around the eyes, beautifully drawn eyebrows. I could study her face for hours.
I never thought I’d go for mint green hair and planned on finding a scalp replacement for her, but now I love it. Her previous owner told me she tried various other colors but none of them worked as well as the mint green. I get it. And Ferro Dolls clearly painted the face with the hair color in mind.
Still fully immersed in The Ink Black Heart.
Netflix magically came back. I had been checking on it every few days and suddenly, there it was. I signed back in and now we’re finishing the series we had been watching.
I suppose it’s time to mow again, but I really don’t feel like it today. Maybe tomorrow.
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
