Yesterday I walked along the river.
Even saw my first Muscovy duck swimming with Canada geese.
And a beautiful bloom from the Tulip Poplar.
When I came home I readied the house for the realtor’s photographer who came today. He did a splendid job and enjoyed shooting the rooms and grounds. Now I just need to keep it looking this inviting until the right person comes along.
The deck and door to the apartment and the shop below.
The rooms that don’t have boxes stacked in them.
The porch above and the terrace below.
And the dining room table with the magazine featuring our house open on the table per realtor’s request.
This morning I walked from the gym through the sunlit meadow over to my new house and was pleasantly surprised to see the driveway and walk paved and the rough plumbing finished. Today they will paint the exterior.
Finally more things to draw in my sketchbook.
I decided that I should spend the extra money and have each side of the fireplace shelved. If those shelves are kept 25″ apart then most of my artwork here in the living room and studio should fit. Some spaces shall have hand pulled prints hanging behind sculpture like Lee’s turned bowls and small groupings or families of things. It will be fun to fit the pieces in.
Maybe the next week will be filled with showings of the house. Tomorrow the window washers come. The yardman and pond cleaner arrived two days ago. Someone needs to come along and love the house as much as Lee and I have.
Til later….
