Happy Sunday, my friend. Love the pics you posted this week. You ask me what I'm obsessed with right now, and I think it's library-building. I'm not too obsessive generally, but I've been slowly on the hunt for bibliographic objects to add to my possessions. Moving to Spain required leaving behind the thousands of volumes I had collected over decades, and I transitioned to ebooks starting two years before we left, but I do so miss the material object itself. My neighborhood has a great used book store, and today I ran into a free book table at a sustainability fair. I've always been a little enchanted by the serendipity of used book stores; the universe putting an unexpected gift in my path. Today I acquired a poetry book by a Galician author, written in Galician, which I sort of understand and want to get better at. Now that I think about it, books have been an obsession since the beginning...
Building a fire pit. Woo hoo! And cutting up veggies to keep cool in the fridge. Yes! It works. I have to re-start doing it.
I'm obsessed with plastic bags. Stores do not give them out anymore but restaurants sometimes do with take-out or leftovers. I'm always unreasonably happy when I receive one because I can recycle them to line bins in the house and use them for cleaning cat litter...
It's the little things.
Finally, who is the delicious blue-grey kitty and her babies? I'm in love.
Isn’t it funny how many things re-start when we are reminded?!That is mama kitty…she is one of the feral ones that live around the house. She has adopted us….and her three black kitties! I love the plastic bag story! It is the little things! ha! We like the plastic bags from menard’s because they are thick and don’t rip or come with holes….
I was going to ask about those good-looking cats! I also had a mama kitty (and her litter) in my front yard who adopted me. I'd keep them warm in the winter by running a space heater in my garage and leaving the garage door cracked for them : )
We did some backyard stuff. Finally took out the extremely large wooden play structure. My kids are grown and gone and the structure was starting to fall apart. It was still pretty emotional to see it go. We had to dig a big hole to remove one of the metal post. Before filling the hole back in, we decided to put a tree in! New life!

A new tree! I love it. That seems like a lovely way for the play structure to be honored.
Ohhhh. I’m going to pick up the chopped celery and onions, ever ready in the frig!
