Our latest home improvement

Not to be too off-topic but it seems like LOTS of folks have been posting on this
topic....

This is why we have been too busy to do anything major with the house this spring and summer.




House-related--she is sitting in a quarter-sawn oak rocker in front of our leaded glass doored built-in cabinets around our decorative fireplace in our craftsman bungalow :)

More for Christmas and definitely some projects in the New Year.

Contemplating again

As always, I haven't written on here in way too long. I got a little into the Facebook thing but not tons, like some people do. Classmates has been a useless tease ("Three people signed your guestbook! Pay for Gold membership NOW to see their names!" Not.)
Linkedin has just been a few professional contacts, nothing fun yet.

At least I am kind of involved with actual humans, knowing some of the folks running in our tiny local elections and such is kind of cool.

I don't feel quite as crappy and cynical as a few months ago. Perhaps Spring helps, though right now it's sleeting and going to snow a couple inches over night. (It better not hose all the plants just trying to sprout. The baby walnut is just about to leaf out--this happened two years ago, it's top bud froze off and it was set back all season. Then last year it grew from less than 2 to over 4 feet, way good year.)

Been getting more involved with environmental groups and causes, which helps. My rarely inspiring barely paying job goes along, but this isn't a good time to try to change that.

At least we have BUNNIES!
