about ten years ago I got a new set of pots and hung them up on the kitchen wall…

over the last year I have replaced a few of them and the new pans fit well on the original screws…

except for the lid for one of the new pots… it was just a bit too close to the bottom of the largest pan… my solution had been to hang the lid on top of the pot it worked with…

yesterday morning I decided to move the screw with my new Christmas screwdriver…

it was a bit of a process, as I had to find the correct bit, and figure out how to reverse the direction on the screwdriver, lol…

took about ten minutes total and now the lid finally has its own spot again…

interesting how some days those big girl pants fit so well…

had another great visit to The Leaf on Thursday…

we arrived about 10:45 am and it felt like we walked into a wall of moisture… clearly the humidity level has gone up considerably since we were last here…

there were a good number of people in the space, but it didn’t feel crowded…

the waterfall is still spilling into the walkways, but it seemed at a lesser degree…

the plants are visibly growing and are lush and bright, even on a partially overcast day…

they seemed so much happier than on my last visit, when many of them looked like they might not survive…

lots of different flowers blooming throughout both the tropical and Mediterranean biomes…


every walk through the biomes brings something different and interesting… can’t wait to see what future visits will produce…

the clematis seems happy in its spot on the wall along the driveway…

it is showing new growth and is getting bigger each year…

I’ve just read about a way to help it grow even quicker by laying a portion of it down and putting soil over it… think I will give that a try in the fall…

for now, I am making sure to go out and visit it each day;-)…

had to get out of the car and take a picture of the side of the house this morning…

looks like someone or something ran up the side… kind of artistic…

  
too funny…

yesterday there was a note from Hydro saying I needed to read the meter again… they are rather finicky about when you read it, lol… took a picture today and will email it to them tomorrow…

  
hope this works because getting the numbers right seems to be an art…

going in search of a lounger tomorrow…

had a wonderful day with a friend who came over and hung 15 framed water lily pictures on the stairway wall… we had a great time…

makes me a bit proud to have my art up on a wall… a bit odd to think of my photos as art, lol…

part way through the process we had a lovely snack/lunch…

happily there was no broken glass… a few close calls when the frames were on the hallway floor, lol…

but we realized that we needed more pictures… I have to find thirteen more photos and we have to pick up more frames…

we have already put in the nails so that piece is done… going to get sticky stuff to make sure the pictures stay square on the wall…

we also got the orchid to sit in the pot better… it was a bit tippy…

after she left I had a good nap… silly me, woke up at 7:15 this morning and didn’t go back to sleep…

it’s very cold outside so I have a yoga jacket on to stay comfy, rather than turning up the heat and being too hot at bedtime… I have always liked it to be cool in the bedroom and have the windows open at night… used to make George crazy…

there’s one good thing about being on my own, no one complains when I leave a window open, lol…

damn big girl pants…
