Last summer when I started the process of emptying out our little greenhouse of plants, pots, and other things that had accumulated in there, I found several pots of all different sizes that were full of rocks. They are rocks that I've picked up out in the vineyard over the years. I always thought that they were picturesque and that one day I'd find a use for them. In the meantime, I figured I could take them out of the greenhouse and put them all on the utility room window ledge, out of the way of the continuing greenhouse clean-up. Here they are:
The ground around here is very rocky. The greenhouse clean-up got put off when I suddenly came down with the aches and pains of arthritis (
arthrose in French). My swollen and painful right wrist prevented me from moving heavy potted plants around. Now I realize that we really need to have a new window put in here next year. The old one doesn't latch the way it should. It's not double glazed and does not
have a shutter over it. The window ledge needs scraping and re-painting. Projects, projects, projects.
That's a nice rock collection. I have a very long list of projects since my guy is gone.He was so handy. It's satisfying to check things off the list.
