A dewy leaf, early morning.

This is a rare sight in Lubbock, as the climate’s too dry for dew. This shot was taken in College Station, Texas, where dew falls frequently.

You know, nothing really says, “We’re not even trying.” more than a city’s downtown where you don’t even have to look very hard to find barbed wire.

Although, to be fair, it does make my job more interesting.

Kitchen renovation started yesterday.

All the living room and dining room furniture is in storage for the duration. All the kitchen stuff is lined up on the floor of the living room. The breakable stuff – including these vintage Pyrex mixing bowls – are in the “safety zone” which is the area behind plastic storage tubs that are filled with other stuff. (Other stuff = wine bottles and jars and jars of homemade pickles.)

The new year is off to an interesting start.

My resolution: to avoid emotional breakdowns while the project is underway!

House renovation project, day one. And it’ll get worse before it gets better.

But, to make myself feel better, here’s a haiku from Laurie Jameson:

the empty house waits
for light and silence to clear
what has gone before
