Chairs

I love chairs. I love antique chairs and I love occasional chairs. I love upholstered chairs and wooden chairs. I love outdoor chairs and indoor chairs, ottomans, chaises, desk chairs. I love to upholster and reupholster them ( not me personally, but I like to have it done!).  I sort of collect them. My mother has given me several over the years as she has downsized her life. I don’t know the architectural aspects of chairs; I only know what I like.

 I just got one delivered today! I bought it at Calico Corners about 10 years ago.  I loved that chair.  Bob, the Cat, loved it, too.  Bob tore that poor chair to pieces!  I stashed it away, thinking I would one day reupholster it. Well here it is!


The fabric is so much fun!  It will look perfect in 10 Cuttin’ Sage!

I had enough fabric (from Joanne’s, by the way) to cover 6 old dining room chairs. But I’ll save that story for another day!

Bee-atrice and Ruth Buzzy

Last Friday, I took a trip to a honeybee farm about 3 hours from home to pick up my 2 boxes of honeybees that I had ordered a couple of months ago.  This was not without a heavy load of anxiety and trepidation.  With Mr. Dodson gone, I knew I was completely on my own.  I could not fathom the experience of traveling 3 hours with 30,000 honeybees in my car.  My fear level was pretty high, I must admit.  My daughter, The Teacher, said it was like a Fear Factor episode!  (But I didn’t win a million dollars).  Thank goodness it was a beautiful, sunny, “sapphire throne” kind of day and I focused on prayer and scripture all the way to the farm and back.  It’s amazing (although it shouldn’t be) how prayer and scripture meditation bring peace (that surpasses all understanding).  So a focus primarily on Philippians 4:13 and Philippians 4:6-7 brought me (through the Holy Spirit) the peace I needed to get through that journey. I got home that evenin...

Morning on the Island

It’s a sunny morning here at 10 Cuttin Sage.  But it’s been sunny every morning here this past week and then it clouds up and rains every afternoon and evening. So I’m thankful for the morning sunshine and I have learned to really appreciate it when I can. Right now, I’m sitting at the dining room table with the french doors open wide to the screened porch. The temp is comfortable enough to do that. There is a gaggle of seven geese outside on the canal. They float downstream; they float upstream; they float back downstream. Their honking sounds a little like European compact car horns. They seem to enjoy the area around our dock! The seagulls, however, are the really noisy ones!  They fuss and fume and argue like siblings fighting over the last cookie!!!  Wildlife is very funny! See how beautiful it is this morning???? I finished painting the screened porch yesterday.  Now I’m waiting on delivery of a table and 6 chairs. I’m also waiting to put toget...

Reflection

First day of 2016 and I’m sitting in my new Golden Retriever face t-shirt and sock monkey socks watching the Rose Parade. My t-shirt and socks were a gift from the Hospitality Manager.  The floats in the Rose Parade are still wondrous to me since childhood when I first began watching:  gigantic flower sculptures on wheels with special people riding on them!!! The balloon parade on Thanksgiving is lots of fun, but these floats are truly magical.  I guess this parade is a true joy for anyone who loves gardening and beekeeping (and fairy tales and fantasy lands). Anticipation of the new year brings eagerness, excitement, just a little trepidation, and wonder at the gifts of God’s grace. It’s going to be a bit busy this year, what with The Office reno, first time beekeeping, and a WEDDING!  I wanted to get into raising chickens, but my (egg) basket is a little full I think.  Maybe next year. I have 3 weeks booked for us at 10 Cuttin Sage; March, June and Se...
