A week of rain led to me going through cupboards and closets to organize linens and other items I'm either going to sell or give away. I started to put together a group of ecru and white pieces for a special person as a surprise. Just one of the huge closets full of afghans. The huge cupboard in my living room that holds my special dishes. I can't believe I eliminated half of what was in there, and I still have so much! I don't have sit-down dinners any longer, the entertaining I do is much more casual, so there wasn't a need for so many place settings. Only keeping the things I really love and use. The kitchen cupboard holds old bowls and little items that are just for looking at. More things I love and from special people. A little bisque cupie with a rabbit that my mom gave me so many decades ago. Pieces of transferware that I find from time to time and vintage salt and peppers. A set of ceramic bird glasses I found when I was in my 20s when Bob and I used to go to Nashville's Heart of Country show every Valentine's Day. Dollhouse tea set from the dollhouse I wish I still had! That white egg is from a screech owl nest in my owl box that didn't hatch. A rare find, hand painted porcelain sock darner. This morning the fog started to leave, the sun came out with blue sky and it was 72 degrees. Needless to say I was outside prepping for spring, cleaning up and watching the deer in my pasture.
The Scotch Broom enjoyed the warmth today, too, and decided to start blooming!
