Good boxes make the world of difference in shipping things as affordably as possible--I regularly bring home boxes from the library recycle bins. It's also a great way to re-use/recycle.

Sun room is looking better, more floor space. Dining table is almost clear again. But I've put an LED candle on top of the Victrola sitting in the middle of the front hall so no one trips or stubs a toe on it in the night while we await the verdict on the front room carpet.

Tomorrow I'm going to pull up the last of the roma tomatoes out front. They're so full of mealy bugs I don't think there will be any leaves by the time the few tomatoes get ripe. I'll see if they can ripen on the counter.
