A few misc pictures. The Sun Egg is one of Elsa Beskow’s, so I thought I’d show you her art work. I have always loved all her stuff.
The other are the faux flowers I put out for fall. Most of these come from Ikea, which I find has the most real-looking ones.
Our temperatures have really dropped and now the house is cold. So weird. I actually turned on the propane heater just to get the chill off. I don’t want to start a fire quite yet, but it is supposed to rain in the next few days, so I might have to.
I have the chimney guy coming on Friday, so I probably will wait and see what he says. I’m pretty sure the stove pipe is fine and just needs a cleaning. But better to be safe.
Tomorrow, Today, I go to Sacto for my appt, and then I was going to go to the gym on Friday early before the chimney guy comes, but apparently the whole Mahany complex, library, gym, etc is going to have some electrical repairs done, so I guess there will be limited use. So I guess I’ll skip that.
How lovely to find another Elsa Beskow fan! We went to a wonderful exhibition of some of her works in Sweden earlier this year. She was an interesting woman who worked a lot with children’s education.
I love her books and think I have them all. I love Ollie’s Ski Trip and Peter in Blueberry Land. Since we did a Waldorf education for both kids, Elsa Beskow fit that style very well.
It sounds like it’s feeling like Fall, and you’re definitely getting your house ready for the new season.
Yes, today is the stovepipe guy. I’ll see what he says. Hopefully it’s not too $$.
