Happy Spring Equinox!
The ground is still frozen solid here, but the sky is bright.
Yesterday I set up an pretty end-cap display with Korean (I think) dolls.
I used to tease Ass't Man that his end-caps proved he was a Taurus:
they were always Earth-toned. They were excellently done––mine are sloppy in comparison––but they were always the same in tone.
I try to mix mine up.
Right now there's an earthy display, with a beautiful bowl carved whole from a tree (I'm tempted myself), woven-slat baskets, black-and-brown coffee mugs, dark red placements ...
And the third of the three end-caps is in greens. Spring, come!
It's hard to keep displays looking good since of course people buy the best stuff off them right away. So you have to stay on top of it, and I haven't since I hurt my knee ligament two months ago.
But all of a sudden, this week it's much better. Maybe 89%... Yay for all the little cells knitting themselves back together!

My doll pal, MT, picked me up after work, and drove me home. She had a grocery bag of dirty, old dolls and bears to give to me.
They had belonged to the mother of a friend, from the 1940s.
They've all been enrolled in SNARP--the Stuffed Needy Animal Rescue Project. Most I'll clean up and give away.
These two boo-boos will be staying.

I've re-read the first 5 months of this blog now.
I'm so happy and a little surprised how much I'm enjoying it.
Some posts are irrelevant--like, they had dead links and videos––and I've deleted those, but mostly they stand up just fine, or better.
They definitely encourage me to keep blogging now.

The oranges were sprinkled with cinnamon.
I'd
been so disgusted with the Tech Bros, I'd considered getting off-line
entirely. But that would leave the field to them.
There's a lot of good here.
And it makes me happy to email people, one at a time, from my new Proton account. I send one from my gmail at the same time, and I'm writing individual emails, so it's clearly me.
No hurry.
Things take time, and that's okay.
