I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?

comfortable, easy, opps stuff, and cat hair

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yellowjackets and wasps are different things. Anne, frankly, I'd hire an exterminator. My FiL was stung so many times he nearly died, trying to eradicate a yellowjacket nest. YJs are hornets, and much tougher and hard to get at than wasps.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?

Books, blankets, travel, quirky, cozy. And more books.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Indiana Jones' library. At least, that's what I aspire to. In reality, it's antique/vintage stuff covered with a fine patina of cat hair and clutter.

Someday it will be determined that there are preservative properties in cat hair.

Annoyingly, my neighbors have a yellow jacket nest in their eaves, and I told them (it's the back of their house but the front of mine) and they said they got someone out who told them it was yellow jackets, but "they'll all fly away in about six weeks or so, and we are going to wait until that happens to seal it up". Ugh.

Oh, Matt, you still haven't had cats long enough for that...

Nerdy bibliophile with a touch of French bordello to keep things interesting?

I got my CSA box on Saturday and I'm trying to thing of things to make that will keep or freeze well because I'm going to Atlanta on Wednesday. I'm thinking kale pesto and black bean and corn chili. I also need to do something about the giant head of broccoli.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Roast broccoli soup?

Did not get salads made. Oh, I think we might be getting lunch for one of my meetings. Maybe I'd better bring in an avocado and a can of salmon just in case.
