Growth

Zinnia Seedlings

Three days ago, I planted these zinnia seeds.  They grow so fast!  Some of them seemed to be duds, so I reseeded them yesterday.  We shall see if they take off or not.  But I'm pretty happy with the five that have sprouted.  If I can keep them alive, I should have some nice flowers in about 3 months.

This is unusual, because I'm the sister with the black thumb.  But they had the peat pots and lots of different seeds at the grocery store, and I finally gave in to temptation.

Room ReDesign

Lacking direction in my art lately, I decided to rearrange the furniture.

Actually the thought process went like this:  I need to clean the house.  That's boring.  How about rearranging the furniture?  Fun!

So, I took no before pictures, but basically I just flipped the living room and dining room.  I found lots of interesting dust and lint bunnies under all of my furniture in the process.  Here are the after pictures.

The living room, being adjacent to the kitchen, now has a "lounge" feel for me.



And eating next to the open sliding glass doors made us feel like we were dining al fresco last night - delightful!

A Brief Hiatus

Well, I took a short break from blogging so I could mope.  

I'm so grateful that's over.
