More On the Chair
Just to say that the chair will be conquered tomorrow. Oh yes, it will be conquered. That is all. Pictures are forthcoming.

Northern Harrier
I have this beautiful bird in my backyard. Despite the fact that she is a slender little hawk, she really gives Crow-magnon and his gang a run for their money. Also, she nearly got a rabbit yesterday. It was pretty thrilling to watch. I didn’t know who to root for — the hawk or the bunny.

then you should get on over to the Clayton Art Fair. Just don’t forget to take an umbrella. Also, the tenderloin sandwiches and Hank’s Cheesecake were great. You can check out a virtual gallery here. Really, you should go.

Never Again…
will I reupholster a piece of furniture. I promised to take pictures of the process. And I have taken pictures. And, oh my goodness, has it been a process. I will post the pictures when the piece is finished. But that won’t be now. And it won’t be until sometime next week. Why, do you ask, will it not be until next week? Because, I have company coming. This place is an absolute wreck. I take that back — this place is an absolute wreck, squared. And, instead of putting the nice, finished chair in Jon’s office, I have to instead find a place for the unfinished chair and all the materials that will eventually be encased in fabric instead of in the plastic bags from Hobby Lobby.

You just wait, Chair. You HEAR me? I’m coming to get you next week and man, I’m going to fix you. You got that?

(I realize that my talking to the chair means that I should go to bed now and try to wake up sane and smiling.)

On another note, I made some really good chocolate cake today and some banana bread that my husband actually liked. So, you know, I’m not a total failure.
