What I Did Wednesday #23

1. Wound up all the clocks.  Love to be home alone when it's so quiet that I can hear the clocks ticking.
2. Ate some Sugar Pears for the first time.  Have you tried them?  They are tiny!  I bought a box of them at Sams Club.  They were very inexpensive and I always like to try a new fruit.  Have to say, though, that I liked my good ol' standard Bartlett better.  They had pear taste with a little spice/floral accent.
3. Put some ivy cuttings in water to root.  I'd like a hanging plant in another window and thought I'd start my own!
4. Misted my pink plant, Frankie.
5. Cleaned out my jewelry drawer and organized it, along with my longer, hanging necklaces.
6. Noted the lovely sunshine coming in through the window blind.
7. Still trying to get the last of the kittens to warm up to me.  This is Charcoal.  Gorgeous little boy kitty.  The Mister wants to keep him and declared him his favorite.  In that case, I'd really love for him to go to the clinic this Saturday.  He won't let me pet him, though.  I did manage to run my hand down his back this afternoon very quickly without him completely spazzing out and dashing off the porch. ha. Think I can catch him in 3 days?  ha.
8. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather.  Cool wind, though....and very gusty.  I sat in the threshold of the back door where I couldn't feel it.  There aren't any bugs yet, so I just left the door open all afternoon!  Enjoyed listening to the wind rustle through the trees and watched kittens run about the yard chasing leaves.
9. While I dusted the furniture, I removed the Valentine's Day things from the foyer table and put out some Irish green. :)
10. Hung one of my summer hats out on the back porch.  A token of sorts to Mother Nature.  Maybe she'll see I'd like to work in the garden and bring spring in full force?  ha.
11. Remember my two faux mink throws I bought at Big Lots?  Well, the tags said 'dry clean only'.  I didn't want to spend the money, not to mention I hate the way dry cleaned things smell when they are clean! ha.  This one was dirty...it's everyone's favorite!  It had some food spots on it and just smelled, well..non-fresh?  I decided to try it on a delicate cycle and put it in the washer.  It washed fine and even dried fine in the dryer.  It looks like new!  So glad I didn't take it to the cleaners!
12. I noticed on my blog's sitemeter that the search was back for "broom standing on it's own"!  Wow.  I had forgotten about that.  I suspected that the gravitational pull had returned.  Or is it something more creepy?  I mean, it is a full moon, afterall. :) I originally posted it about it HERE.  So I got out my broom and tried it again...sure enough it stands alone.  Yep, still just as creepy as it was before. haha.

A nice day of puttering.

What did you do today?

Maybe you should see if your broom will stand! ha.

Whatever you did, I hope it was wonderful!
