Corners of my mind. . . . . .

There's not much of interest to share for this overly warm for February week. 

 The heating is turned to OFF and the upstairs windows are opened a little,

 the fresh air feels so good. Later today though severe storms will roll in,

heavy rain, wind, and possible flooding in some areas, then a return to

more seasonable temperatures.

I visited a dear friend of many years yesterday. We laughed a lot recalling our

 younger days over a cup of tea, while watching several birds visiting the feeders

 on her front porch. When time permits I'm going back to teach her how to make

 that great no-knead bread.  

The house is getting messy as we prepare to start the bedroom makeover. 

I'm asking myself what in the world I was thinking getting myself involved  

in another home project. Hopefully it will all be worthwhile after the disruption.

Now storing art stripped from the walls, emptying and de-cluttering the dresser and

 chest of drawers - too much stuff not enough room.

 Bob uses the walk-in closet so has a huge job ahead clearing that out - Marie Kondo

 where are you when I need you. . . . . Bob has a hard time saying goodbye to stuff!

I'm going to replace the bedroom carpeting with the same awesome laminate we

have in living and dining rooms, and hallway. I was so upset when our flooring

 company told me my grey 'farmhouse style' wide plank had been discontinued,

 BUT then found out the manufacturer has just enough remaining in their

 warehouse to do the bedroom!  Hopefully that will be making its way here

 soon and the floor can be done following the painting.

We're heading to the coast for a quick break over the weekend - and 

hoping the sun will shine and the Atlantic will be sparkling.
