Later on Thursday

Thought I'd pop back in here again.  What a good day especially in terms of housekeeping.  And now with the rain sort of drizzling outside, I'm in bed with pug Daisy---window up and the fan blowing.  The rain hasn't been the pour down sort, but more of a steady/not-so steady sprinkle.  More please.  But on the plus side is that I could smell the briefest scent of fall in the air.  Odd too since this wind is coming from the Gulf of Mexico.  I think the dampness has brought it out. Gary said he thought the breeze this morning smelled faintly tropical.

Anyway, got lots done in the dining/living rooms.  Major dusting and figured out the new dining chair arrangements.  We're using the lot of them, but Gary wants to keep his grandparent's old chair as his regular seat.  That works.  I love sentimentality.  Makes things more homey, and I do dislike all matchy things.  A bit of a tweak in decorating makes for more interest, I think.

Tomorrow will bring more of the same.  The kitchen/former breakfast room is holding all the stuff I moved around today.  Just ran out steam and it'll have to wait.  I figure that if we can walk around the excess, that'll do until I get to it.
