The Norfolk pine we got at before Christmas is looking a bit sad. Kelli has tended it every day, but it hasn’t made any difference. It had pride of place in our living area, and we had high hopes of it growing even through it is classed as a tropical plant. It looks like a pine tree, but the needles are soft and fine, but they turn hard a coarse if the temperature is right. Which makes us ask the question why they were available for sale in Michigan.
The whole thing is a reminder of watching something/someone that you care about, withering away in front of our eyes.
We finished another dresser which had the missing drawer, I had made a plywood liner to fit inside, and Kelli had found a basket that fitted inside. This was listed as a piece that could go in a small child’s room or nursery.
We also finished an small dresser that was painted in a daffodil yellow. There is a lot of activity in the garage with the desk pedestal conversions targeted for the weekend.
Later we drove round to Our Collective homes to collect all the pieces that we had there. It had come the time to go independent, Kelli had more success selling on Marketplace, so that was the channel we would be using from now on.
As a reward for all our hard work we went to Hop Cat, a pub, that did a wonderful veggi-burger. We got there at 7.30 and the place was packed, by 8.30 the place was nearly empty.
