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.

Here in NYC backyard are hard to come by...so how nice that you have one! Right in the middle of the picture, in front of the trees it looks like a little grey bird or something on the ground. What is this mysterious creature? :)

And on the table is a doctor's bag. We never realized that you were, in reality, an MD! You've kept this secret from us!!

I had to run out and check...it is a rock.

An MD? Boy, would my mom be happy! Hee! It is, in actuality, the bag for the camera.
