Pics

[valis2]

I think it was eloisasnape who wanted to see a pic of my backyard. And pandora_nervosa's journal has been so full of pics that my journal is getting a bit sulky. So here...a pic of my "backyard" and my dining room.

Backyard Well, as much as you can have a backyard when you live in an apartment.

Dining room The table is 100 years old; it's one of my happiest things. The country feel of it is due to hand-me-downs from my mom, who was very into the federal blue country thing for many years. Bookshelf on the left is my fairy tale/Robin Hood/large book bookshelf. My literature bookshelf is in the living room, directly across from it, not pictured here. The small bookshelf is the cookbook bookshelf, which is pretty much unused. I'm not the best cook. Items on the bookshelf to the left: Afghani giant wooden stamp, hand painted ceramic piece by friend, Teacup of Destiny, Tetley's tin, and Baby Bear, who is a boy and wears a dress and poofy bloomers underneath. Love him so. No other stuffed animals need apply. Oh, and the strange wooden things on top of the bookshelves are "boats" and a "horse" I made out of scrap wood and nails when I was about eight or nine in my grandfather's garage.

Actually, there are buildings right behind the trees, you can barely see them. And we all have a teeny patio, plus a balcony above. So, lots of neighbors. ;)

The pictures are ones I've purchased; one is of a ruined church in Italy, the other is a missionary in Texas. I only wish I had taken them! ;)

At some point I'll try to remember to take a picture of the other side of the room, where my pics are hanging.
