Work in Progress

The yard has started and will finish up today.  It looks nice -- even without the spring green up yet.  I learned a lot about pruning and the plants in our yard.  It was a good "tour."  Pictures tomorrow.

I decorated the mantel -- per 23 for 2023, everything is thrifted or something I owned.  I found the little blue pitcher at a thrift store yesterday (yep, it was open).  It was a bit of color that finished it.  I propagated the plant from home and hopefully being in water will allow it to survive our time away.  I miss living plants in this house.  The books I owned, the glass decanters were my grandmother's and the vintage vase I got from Etsy and filled with leftover greens I had in GA.  

Bam, but this was the easiest space to thrift.  Next up ... master bedroom and front and back porch.  Art work for master bedroom (over the bed is tricky), bench for the back porch and some sort of table for the front porch.  Both porch items need to be able to handle weather exposure.

I'm having lunch with my neighbor today.  She's picking the restaurant since our favorite vegan place is closed on Tuesdays.  I hope it's someplace new to me.  I know she'll pick well -- she's a plant forward gal too.

I got a text from the hike leader from the hike on Saturday.  Saying welcome, she liked hiking with me and loves the things from the craft fair (I showed her the booth).  That was a very nice reach out.  We texted a little bit and hope to see her on another hike.

I started easy cleaning yesterday afternoon -- floor and bathrooms tomorrow before we leave.  Fingers crossed my back holds up.  I'd hate to aggravate it over dirty floors!!!

Have a good Tuesday.  Later gators.
