We ended up with about four inches of snow but the story was the 60 mph winds. Everything loose was sent down the street or over into your neighbor's yard. I have two rain barrels in my back yard from the neighbor. They had a small amount of water in them and they blew and rolled over into my railings and rose bushes. The wind made beautiful drifts around them. Today we will melt.
The hardy geranium isn't looking so hardy but it is basking in the daylight. It is really healthy as the bedroom isn't heated much and it isn't drying out from being inside.
When I turn away from the geranium in the window this is what I see on the opposite wall. The nut cracker goes into storage when I finally get him in a plastic bag. The dresser is an old one that I rescued from a family. It had dark stain on it and I found this wonderful natural wood color under it.It is in good use there and to think I almost gave it away when we moved. It was a dining room piece in our old house as it fit in with an antique table. I did give away a few older dressers as I seem to over rescue them. We still moved two antique oak dressers, an oak desk and commode stand.
I was getting tools from the basement to use in the bathroom and stopped to take photos. I couldn't find them and there I lay them on the clean bedspread, once I found them. I accomplished replacing the wax seal on our toilet on Monday. There are no more leaks. The next day I proceeded to redo the tile floor that I had put in new before the leak. I discovered because of the leak that I had a layer of water under all the new tiles. I purchased some new ones and pulled up all of the tiles, dried things out, and put all of them back down with a good dry seal. The floor is now looking so great. ha
We are doing battle with our tv cable people. Our one box has shut down and will not let us select channels. Our box in the bedroom is working just fine. Finally my wife found a number that I could call and get to talk to a real person. I had a video conference with one as he let me photograph with my phone what I could do to try and fix it. He got to see the box connections, the back of the tv, and also the tv screen that keeps saying there is no connection, is the server turned on. The guy decided he should send a service man. I got a call from a woman that now says she wants to do the same inspection by phone camera and see if she can work it out instead of having a repair person. Right now I am just happy a real person is scheduled to come on Saturday. The lady is going to call me back as I was eating lunch when she called. We will see how that goes.
After all of the explaining of things going on I now understand how I forgot to blog for two days. Tjamls for stopping by today.
