Okay, Now back to all those what-fors ......
It seems that painting and packing and mundane daily chores have consumed most of my time of late......
I started painting the outside trim of our house in August. Then began painting inside when the weather turned cold. You'd think I'd be done by now. But when you have 3800 sq. ft. of house, there's a lot of acreage to cover with a paint brush!
Fortunately for me, we live in an unpainted cinder block house which has paneling on the interior walls. So most of what I have to paint is ceilings. I just finished the bathroom. And what a difference a gallon of paint will make! This is the bathroom before the paint job...

The next project is the dining room ceiling and then into the kitchen. But before I start any painting in a room, I will pack it up. It's so much easier to paint a room that is almost bare than one filled with 'stuff'. And we had our share of 'stuff' -
3800 sq ft of house + owning an antique business = LOTS of stuff!
But we have been thinning out our 'stuff' since we made the decision to move, so the packing is going fairly quickly.
And the Black Walnut Tree has now almost totally disappeared from the yard. A local man cut it up for next year's firewood.
He did give me these two lovely pieces. I plan on using them as tables when they are dry. And once the stump is out of the ground, it will be trimmed and turned into a table base.
And the bright side of the tree falling over is that a swamp rose I have in that section of the yard will now receive more sunshine and thus have more blooms.
