busy weekend

it was a very busy weekend. i had projects. tim had projects. we had unexpected mutual projects. did i think to take pictures?? noooo. we had a branch down from the snow/wind storm the other day. in order to get to it tim had to cut quite a few branches from the maple tree and several of the walnut. did i get a picture of the damage?? nope. did i record the bundles piled all over the yard?? no way. was the work in the basement recorded for posterity?? not a chance. my sewing? the plants? my spraypainting?? you get the idea. sunday night rolled around and i realized my only hope was in the furniture being moved around in the living room so here you are...


it was a productive couple of days. kind of compensated for all the reading time i've logged lately.


had a call from jacob. we leave for connecticut on thursday. i've got piles of this, that and a few other things started in the spare bedroom. we're looking forward to the trip.

pussy willows and plumbing

this morning finds me waiting on a plumber. this seems as good a way as any to use the time. i'm hoping they'll get here and be gone soon leaving me time to walk with charlie. we had snow overnight sunday and well into monday morning. thick, heavy snow - no wind - a real treat around here. yesterday it was about 55 with the same expected for today so we want to walk. outside!!
tim has been talking for over a year about using a closet space for a bathtub. it will be tricky. a couple nights ago i was in the basement and heard this awful racket.....he's upstairs knocking tile off the wall in the bathroom. i guess we've left the talking phase.....so the plumber will be here this morning for the first stage of his part of the work. then the deconstruct will continue. should be interesting.
i spent some time looking at paint colors etc yesterday. that's always fun.
and we're getting ready to visit up north for aidan's birthday. i have a pile growning with things to take along. we always look forward to our visits with them.
there have been phone calls from jacob and a friend in pennsylvania is planning to come out in may or early june. garden/lawn work is just around the corner. i've got a jar full of pussy willows from a friend and plan to root some for a spot in our yard. more than robins, daffodils, whatever, pussy willows say spring to me.
