Okay, there's my pic. The buds on one of the maple trees.

I'm forced to get rid of a few pieces of my (old and shaky, anyway) furniture. Just toooo crowded in here! I've decided to make a second spot in the house to play my musical instruments, since my prime spot -- though it's great -- is inhabited by an extremely LOUD, crazy cockatoo. There are times when I'd like to play music without the screams.

Bubbles is walking around now like he needs to go outdoors...back later....

Did I say 'a few pieces?' Just one, really. An old piano bench. It's a fine old bench, other than being just a bit shaky from age. I wish I could keep it but I need more space. (Got it for free...so I'll pass it on for the same!)

Still trying to lose the last traces of this...cold? flu? Whatever. It's a clinger. I'm not bad enough to make anyone else sick, just can't quite get over the last bit of blah.

Am I unknowingly drinking some kind of magnetic water? Is it my hand cream? This thing keeps typing like I've got it on a huge magnet. Ahh, groan. Anyway. Gotta go.
