Another Nice Day!

I thought the way the weather has been going, today would be foggy. But no - woke up to sunshine - after sleeping in "late"! Had to put my glasses on - I thought the alarm said 0900, but no, it was only 0800 but was nice to sleep that late.

Speaking of weather - it has been warm lately so thought I should do some watering. And I discovered that the bulbs in one of the pots our old neighbor gave us - seems to think it is spring!

We painted the first bookcase. It is all done. Sanded the 2d one - tomorrow we will prime it, and then paint it too.

And it is red!

So today got a call from the landscaper. HIs truck is in the shop for the next 2 weeks - or so he says. Said he had planned to have the yard done by tomorrow. But, since the truck is in the shop for 2 weeks, he is going to go visit family and will call us when he gets back on or around December 2. We get so close to getting things done and then, boom....

Still don't have that one remaining little strip for the floor around the hearth.....and the front door is not completely done because we need to finish off the inside because the inner trim of the door is not deep enough - wide enough - something - to completely cover the hole where the door was....

It just can never be easy.

So this afternoon we took off and had a "date". Walked around the mall - had lovely samples from See's candy (love the California brittle) and Williams Sonoma (yummy hot apple cider!). And then gorged ourselves on popcorn while we watched a movie. The 2 time we have gone to a movie since we moved here in mid June!
