ALMOST Emptyhanded...



Yesterday I made my rounds through the Antique, Thrift, and Junque stores. I didn't see anything I wanted or needed until there for just fifty cents was a tall candlestick for JD's baby grand piano in the parlor. After my singular find I proceeded on to the grocery store.

Yes...... for all our advances of civilization; I conclude.... we are still a "hunter / gatherer ' society. Mostly cloudy here today (Sunday ) on 24 F ... -4 C with a moderate breeze out of the NW. I am just puttseying through the house cooking, laundry, dusting and cleaning.


For STR... This is from CATS you might enjoy

It appears Ronnie likes the candlestick too. It will make a fine addition to the grand piano. Great price, by the way.

Many of us never seem to stop hunting and gathering, making us more like pack rats. LOL!

It was 36F here all day, thick cloud cover, brisk S wind. This evening it has warmed up to 37F. I barked the dog as usual after lunch, but didn't do much else today. Sunday is my day of rest.

We've cooled down to -6 C here, however, a Southerly wind is promising.
