Lots of instruments, books, quilts, kids, and cats around this house. There's a good garden out back and a compost pile, and there are lots of seeds, both in packets and in little hand-labeled envelopes for next year. There's a big lawn and a lawnmower (this is the Mudcatter fitness program--mow the big lawn without putting the mower in its self-propelled mode).

There are several places where guests can sleep, none are far from a bathroom because the house isn't that big. Two bathrooms. Workmen have been known to pee in the back yard, though they were always invited to use the indoor facilities.

Fireplace smokes some. I don't use it much, except to put big candles in there to burn--it keeps the chill from the room by heating the cavity behind the glass doors, and it looks good, even if it isn't a "real" fire.
