Mostly {real}…
Because I was not joking that there are two bathrooms that were beyond the point of “um, could we get attention” and well into “you need to accept that you’ve lived here long enough to do something about this already” territory.
But… mess… and disruption… and showering in the mudroom… and snow… and boots through the house… and money…
As you know, I never complain and also it’s super over the top to complain about renovations, because things are getting better, right? Still, waaaahhhhh….
So despite the seriously retrograde action we experienced early this week:
… complete with high winds and temps in the teens — not that I’m complaining, who would complain about that! — I did more of this:
So far this is what I’ve started, up there on the board. (The indoor seeds are tended by Habou who has a sunny window in her studio. This is a boon, as I have not one window out of my 54 (!) that works to grow seeds.)
Yes, lettuce twice! I have planted some things right out in the garden already, during that nice warm week we had. I think they will be okay — it’s all cool-weather things like peas, kale, lettuce, beets, and the fava beans which are a cover crop. The garlic is coming up fine but I seem to have lost the rhubarb somehow…
And next week I think we can split the hive. With sheer will-power, we will cause Spring to do its thing!
And I think I will replace the oddly out-of-date and quite heavy buttons on this fine, light-weight merino sweater I found in the fall, at Marshall’s, for a song ($20! Talbots!), with some pretty shell ones.
I think I might have the right size and number… I have so many buttons, but finding seven all the same is often tricky.
