Wow……..two crazy weeks. Moved in with the help of family and friends….could not have done it without them. Just have a counter full of books and some fabric left to bring over. All the heavy lifting was done by others, to whom all the credit, thanks, and love goes.
Bought hibiscus treelets….my daughter was my gardener/planter. I love plants in any shape and color. Plan to have a lot more on the wrap around deck.
The deck is huge and will support plants and family get togethers and coffee in the morning and evening…..and knitting. It is so quiet here. I can actually hear the birds all day. It’s delightful.
Packed up all my yarn, but managed to start a new pair of socks. It is Zitron Art Deco German wool. It is a self-patterning yarn and feels quite rustic to the touch. Not buttery soft like most of my yarns. It will be interesting.
Someone made themselves to home. She was very happy when I started bringing in her favorite things, but she took to this new chair and hassock (did someone say yarn storage ? ) like she thinks they are her own.
I about died laughing when my grandsons brought over my washer/dryer set. She likes to play ‘fetch’ with bottle caps…..I guess this was her secret hiding place…….
There were a ton more under the washer. I wondered why she never had any out to play with, now I know.
So, getting settled. Getting used to the quiet (the first night I kept waking up….no trains, no traffic). The house is wonderfully composed. I feel like the fat lady who took off her girdle……I can just spread out. I have a sewing room and an art room/guest room, along with a huge living room/family room and a small front ‘parlor’ that mostly has a comfy couch and books, books, books.
Life is good…..
oh, look……..shiny
