…at Walmart, and is happy. I got one that says: “Instant Pirate. Add Rum.” And I also got something I had to ask myself if I needed, but yes. I need a place for my working papers and books instead of stacking them on the floor and getting them blown about by the ceiling fan. It’s a put-together cabinet. It has 3 wicker drawers across where I can store papers and my huge stacks of printout,\u00a0and 6 cubby-holes where I can put stray reference books and little boxes of oddments. Plus it’s the same size and scale as my other furniture. I prefer light furniture, a little on the modern side, but I like things that are light and that you can move easily. With anything I have, you take out a couple of drawers, grab hold 1 on a side, and lift and shift. So now I won’t have papers meandering across the office.<\/p>\n
Jane’s in there now putting it together. She loves flatpack furniture. Loves to build things.<\/p>\n
They’re saying we get one more warmup this week.
\nWe’ve got a lot we’ve got to do before coldweather. To our regret, we lost the pretty Hinoki cypress we got this spring. A post-mortem on the roots showed why: they’d been packed in clay, and never burst the rootball. Next spring we’re going to wash the roots clean and plant with good drainage, and that should do it. We’re going to need to mulch the poor neglected roses, trim them down to the mulch top, and watch for cold weather to pop their styrofoam shells atop. We didn’t lose a single rose last winter. We hope to keep that record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
