The holiday weekend is wrapping up...
I...am...hanging pictures...I tend to wait a LONG time when living somewhere before I'm 'ready' to hang stuff up...I think I need to live in a space to know where I want things to go...even so, its not like this is a museum-home, I'm sure everything could be grouped better, but I'm having fun...there's a corner in the living room that's halloween cross stitch stuff...pumpkins, witches, crows...another wall is all my 17th Century English Band Samplers, there are bits and pieces in the kitchen, I even hung up our dog-leash hanger...I'm hunting upstairs for more stuff to hang, I know its here, sitting on the floor, doing nothing...I have my hammer and two boxes of nails/brads and I'm causing mayhem all over...its fun!
Ahem...Lime Green Doors, much?
Its been raining (on and off) in Central Texas since last Wednesday...its finally coming to an end and we should see some 90 temps and sun for the next week...Brian comes home tomorrow, he's visiting friends in California who we've known forever and recently relocated there...(computer games, you know)...And I'm feeling the need to get back on the torch, after being extremely lazy and decadent for the past few days...Yeah, sure, I did laundry and walked the dog and fed the cats and took the garbage out..but I also watched telly and knitted and did cross word puzzles and entertained our neighbor's cat who is attention starved more than than she's food-starved...given the choice, she'd rather be petted than fed...go figure...
The garden could use a little sprucing, its taken a beating with all the rain..most of the roses have tossed their petals and my climber has grown so much in the past week I've had to tie branches to the arch before it strangled the lime tree...can't wait till its completely covered w/ little pink 'noisettes'..those are small roses that are very english country cottage-y...that's kinda the look I'm going for w/ this yard...a messy but full of life garden w/ lots of color, texture and wildlife...yesterday, around 8:00pm, when the sun had nearly set, a dark woosh caught my eye...the ruby throat hummer was working my firecracker plant, drinking in the juice and taking his time before heading home...a nice quiet evening...
I hope ya'll are having a good day after the holiday and its sunny and cool where you are...do something worthwhile today, recycle your soda can, or water bottle and leave a nice tip at lunch...I'm heading to the post office...rock and roll...
