Late Cretaceous Autumn
Apr. 27th, 2007 03:17 pmBreaking-up drama continues. So I return to my true love: my house.
My microregion of Wellington continues to improve upon acquaintance. The valley where I live is dappled with autumn color, interspersed against all the semi-Cretaceous evergreens, a delight to me. And yet, acquaintances are still dissing me for living in Stokes Valley. Ironically, one person, who had previously specifically said I should not buy in Stokes Valley, is now, after coming to my housewarming, contemplating moving out there with her family.
Last night I did many little things around the house. Got out the power drill, installed a doorstop and finished installing a vintage doorknob, rearranged some tchotchkes, hung (yet more) reframed items on the wall. Which involved moving around previously framed and hung items. The living room is really coming together.
Having a house is teaching me interesting things about myself. Such as that I am turning into my mother, and that, as much as I like having a garden, I have little interest in gardening work.
