I am fascinated by the field across the street from Jim’s bus stop. It started last year, when I was waiting for the bus the day after a snowstorm. Anyway, I’m making it a photography project.
In the morning, the sun rises behind the trees. By the time we get there, it’s over to the right a bit….
By afternoon, with the winter sun behind me, the field and trees have a golden glow:
The clouds were moving fast, bringing in a cold front…
In a mad dash to GET IT DONE already, Colin’s room was ready to go live today. We got the old bunk bed out last night, and then I built the bed and had it waiting this morning.
And then I quickly found out the my original plan of using the crib mattress for a toddler style bed wasn’t going to work, as his crib mattress was too long and too skinny. So, I went to Plan B, which was to use just the mattress from Jim’s old old bed, which I think used to be Don’s bed before we got married. Anyway, our only non-IKEA twin bed. That mattress fit, but the bed was too long for the way I had the room laid out.
So then I re-arranged the room again, and again. Got it right on the fourth try. Brought in the rocker and the dresser and the toy box and some pictures. Etc.
Then it was time to go and we were out all day. Didn’t have time to put the curtains up until right before dinner. After all the effort I went through to get them (IKEA trip, so glad it’s so close), it’s obviously how “well”‘ they are made. They have an obvious horizontal pattern, and its repeats are lined up properly. So I have to re-do the rod pockets before hemming them.
Anyway, he’s in bed, asleep, in his new room, in his new BIG BOY bed. Go Colin.
