I took that last photo standing in the double pocket door between the living room and dining room. (The pocket door still works great after all these years.) Then I turned around and took this one.
Front of house
Back of house
At some point, I'll take some pics of the kitchen that was a big focus of the renovation. None of the pictures really capture the thing. The tall ceilings, slate mantels, porcelain doorknobs, etc. just don't photograph well, or I don't have the skill. I'm working on a new Faye story, so I reread the old ones and was struck that the house I created for her in 2002 had plaster ceiling medallions, faux painted mantels, double door topped with a palladian window, plaster walls, moldings...I gave all those things to Faye, and now I live with them. It's kinda cool.
@Mary-Anna I love that you’re living with Faye’s house accoutrements! And that you’re working on a new Faye story. I miss hanging out with her. But I can always go back and do it again!

@mary-anna your house sounds wonderful! And the full size piano pic is indeed glorious!

Thank you, @shirokuro !
@wtg, I went out to look at my seedlings, and something has been rooting around out there.
And it's brassy enough to do it in the broad daylight. There was an uprooted okra seedling that hadn't even wilted yet. I put it back in the ground, but sigh.There are still some things bravely hanging in there. I planted a ton of onions, green onions, and chives, because they're supposed to repel animal pests. If they'll just come up and start being smelly, maybe the other things will have a chance!
The best-looking part of the bed is in the heaviest shade. The arugula have come up in full force, and I guess they're smelly enough to scare the critters away, but they need at least some sun. I'll be shocked if they produce much. I keep telling myself, "It's all an experiment."

@shirokuro, I'm working on a Faye novella, because it's a small story, but it's one I never told. Faye and Joe got married between Books 5 and 6, so I'm writing a novella that fills in that gap.
I'm calling it [i]Something Old[/i], because that seems right for two archaeologists getting married.

I’d imagine being an author would make the home’s history…intriguing
Quirt’s clients should eternally grateful for his
