First of all, we beautified our lovely dog by buying her a new collar, in pink and brown. It matches her fur:
Then we mulched and watered and puttered in the yard. Derek hung up a new flag.
Next, Derek got up on a big ladder and arranged and rearranged some knickknacks on top of the kitchen cabinets. He was very patient. Too bad Emilie gets dizzy when she reaches over her head. Too bad Emilie changes her mind so many times.
Then Derek hung a big heavy mirror (using special hardware) in the entryway. (If it were bigger it could be a "foyer.")
Finally, we hung up four collages that Emilie made. The idea is that they bring together both the living room and dining room decor, and also evoke a medieval palimpsest. And they didn't cost very much.
Hanging four pictures is surprisingly difficult. We used a yardstick, a tape measure, and a level, and we still had to move some nails around. If they look crooked to you, please don't tell us!
We were very productive! Now I think it is time to go watch the PBS program about rhinoceroses. (I had to look up that spelling, now I understand why most people just say "rhinos.") Another exciting weekend with the Johnsons. Boy, I bet Naplover is looking forward to visiting us. Don't worry, we won't make you shovel any mulch!

Ha! Can't shovel anyway... broken foot still healing!! I will be in my cast for another few weeks and then must spend another few months "resting" it... But I would be more than happy to recline in the shade with some knitting while you mulch!!
