I'm working on consolidating stuff in my garage this morning (after I check email and drink my cuppa tea!). Zeke and Susie were out so early that I was only heading out the back gate when they walked up the drive, so she came in for tea and the dogs played, then had breakfast together (such fun, to sit and wait for me to point at the food!)

Susie is a retired art teacher who makes jewelry, including gorgeous glass pieces. I pulled out my beads and findings this morning - she is going to inspire me to finally start doing some of this work - I showed her some of the combinations I have in mind and she liked them (carnelian and turquoise, for example, or carnelian and jade).

The garage will get more thorough attention this morning. I usually juggle what is already in there, but I'll pull out everything on one side and put things back the way they need to go to be more efficient with the space. You know how some low thing on the floor can tie up all of the space above it - I have a flat box of rocks that my brother collected in college - I love them, he may want them back one of these days - they're all going into a 10-gallon gardening tub today to take less space. That's an example. They could go outside also, but I don't want to lose track of them.

Back in for lunch, air, whatever later. I'll hopefully be moving some of my friend's stuff today, getting that started for him.
