Winterize

Baby, it's cold outside.  The local weather guy says this is freezing fog, not snow.  It is mostly gone now even though it still around 30 in most places here.  The manager of this apartment complex was out at 6am blowing away the white stuff and sprinkling de-icer.  I thank her.  And I am still grateful I don't live where it is really cold, flooding, or on fire.  This is pretty benign as winter weather goes.  It's the kind of weather many erstwhile steelhead fishermen are out in, including my youngest son.  Hope he does well, he makes the most delicious fishy dishes.

The new wood bedroom floors for my condo are scheduled to go in Thursday and Friday.  I am pretty excited about that.  They are the first step towards finishing up and moving in.  Many little tasks to complete after and a lot of painting but I enjoy that.  I'm going to paint and stencil on some of the walls after I get the first fresh coat of paint down.  The small bedroom will have a grayed blue accent wall and some kind of birds painted on it.  I'm thinking something that looks like shadows from the window.  It's a small room so it needs not to be too heavy or dark.

This one is by Cutting Edge Stencils so if you can't design your own stencils you can purchase some.

I'm not sure what kind of birds I like to see up there.  I have a great admiration for raptors but not sure how a guest would feel with hawks or osprey circling their bed.   Too Hitchcockian?  Makes me smile.  I'm enjoying the creative side of this.  I can hardly wait to get the wallpaper off the bathroom walls.  I also have many cards, masks, and posters of grizzly bears I've collected over the years. I plan on displaying them out where everyone can see them.   Ah, the great joy of feeling creative again.
