I often have an afternoon nap in the den…

I’ve found, for most of the winter, that I needed my blanket to be up by my neck because of the draft…

I just figured that the window needed some insulation…

a few days ago, I realized that there was a piece of virginia creeper between the window and the screen… and of course I didn’t take a before picture, lol…

yesterday, my housemate was able to dislodge it and close the window properly…

no draft now…

got to sit outside on the deck Sunday morning… yay:-)…

moved the chairs into their usual spots, took off the covers, brought out the clean cushions, and put them on the chairs…

got out the broom and swept up the cedar bits and elm leaves that were all over the deck… even used the leaf blower to finish up…

put on a light jacket and brought out tea and my book and enjoyed the sun, birdsong, and my book for a wonderful hour and a half;-)…

haven’t made it out since then, what with the snow and overcast skies🥺…

was out for a hot tub at 2:00 am, Sunday morning after the F1 race at Suzuka, Japan ended…

it was lovely, although overcast, but the trees were completely still and the temperature was nice as well…

then, when I got out, it became clear that the back hinge on the right arm had disconnected… yikes…

I tried a few ways to get it to close, but couldn’t get it done…

came in with one side left open… will have to see what we can do to fix it, sigh…

later in the day, my housemate was outside and was able to haul it back onto the hot tub…

now to figure out how to solve the problem of broken arms, sigh…

while we were out last Sunday I picked up flowers…

when I got home, I spent time putting them into a couple of vases… for whatever reason I wasn’t pleased with how they looked…

late in the week they were finally redone, with one bouquet in the den, one in the bathroom, and one in the bedroom, although it lived on the stairway for a while, lol…
