Scott and I went to 2nd Use and got this light fixture.

It is missing little crystals that dangle on top. I think I will get these.

I love it.

Fantasy

I got an orange tree Peony this year, I am so excited about it, it is going to be just gorgeous....

Someday.

Patience...........

Peonies take at least one year to bloom at all, and three to four to bloom reliably. This is what it looks like right now.

On a "I want my immediate gratification NOW" note, I got this excellent new Urban Compost Tumbler Yay! I don't know why this one is Urban as opposed to, what? Suburban? Are they calling it "Urban" because it is BLACK?!?!? I am just asking is all.

Look!

The bedroom

Scott has been working really hard on the bedroom, and we are so close to being done. The floor is solid bamboo, and the "wardrobe system" - Ikea, of course.


This closet is just huge, I can hardly stand it.


I have a horn collection, mostly deer, but some mountain goat and antelope, too. They will go on this wall.

Here is the photo of the day, for yesterday January 10th. We got about six or seven inces of snow.

It took me an hour and a half to get home, or more accurately, to the bottom of the hill. I had to steer my truck into a snow bank to avoid hitting a jackknifed bus.

Then it took another hour to get the truck chained up, to drive the last block and get up our driveway.

It is pretty, though.
