I sent a message out but it had a coding error and I killed it before I realized what happened. Darn.

I visited a lovely antique store today, one I have passed by when it was closed, but when I went in I found it is owned by an acquaintance from events at work. Great conversation - and he confirmed my suspicion that the china I've been selling on eBay is only going to go to a few die-hard collectors who DON'T mind that semi-vitreous china was a bad idea. Better for kitchen tile than plates.

I enjoyed this Mudcat exchange earlier today. First two from where the link lands once the page loads.

Kat, it sounds like you have a more grownup place to work again, and just because it doesn't have a view of everything isn't bad. Fewer distractions. I hope Morgan is up and ready for Moon Farm soon! I have tomorrow off - our building is closed, no power, due to a huge but fast electrical upgrade of 50-year-old transformers or whatever. It's spring break for students and faculty, but staff works all week unless something like this comes along. I have tomatoes to put in the garden tomorrow, then I'll mulch all around them. This year I'm trying the Ruth Stout approach, at least as far as hay mulch. I still use amendments and such.
