Ohhh! Lunch!!!

That was Tessie, this morning, when I brought this in from the back forty....OK...So it's not forty acres, but I got my first squash of the season... Would you believe that it grew in a pretzel  jar.

Yup. I took possession of a large plastic jar that Walter got at Costco.  It was full of pretzels.  It is now full of dirt and merrily growing squash. 

He is now in the middle of another jar of pretzels and the poor man is eating as fast as he can.  I think that I am onto a new growing system.  These squash are growing even better than the ones in the livestock tank.

While Tessie is dreaming of  squash for lunch, I am getting ready for the witches to invade.  They will be here at one and I still have cooking to do.

I hung this basket on the wall as inspiration for the screens in the North African bedroom...

What if it is Chinese?  I don't care.  It reminds me of the screens. And it's a great place for Tessie to perch and keep out of the way, while I am buzzing around here like a madwoman trying to get ready.

I worked some more on the sketch for the bedroom.  I have decided to make the woodwork layered.  That is, the first section with the window in it will be affixed to the wall.

The scalloped layer will be out as far as I can set it.  I can't enclose the bed, because the outer wall is only a couple of inches deep.  I think that it will work though.  We shall see.

OK.  Now that you have seen this, I have to go make potato salad and cut up stuff for sandwiches... Busy, busy, busy.

See you tomorrow.
