Thank you kindly xcs!
It's a lot any time...
And then there's the one about how during Icepocalypse I trekked on foot to the nearest Walgreens (1 mile) bought cat litter, canned soup, cat food and a spare blanket) and trekked back with all 25 lbs of stuff on foot. (I had to stop every 3-5 minutes to switch hands). When I finally got home, I was so tired I filled the tub (we DID have hot water) and jumped in. However, since we had no power, and no cell connections, I had no way of knowing my mom was braving the streets with no traffic signals and coming to our house. (She delivered some Bar BQ 
) And when I heard the knock, I crawled out of the tub and yelled at the door "Who is it??! And what do you want???!!! Because I had used my last nerve for the day on that walk... 
Totally understandable. And I love that your mom would brave the icepocalypse to bring you bbq!Thank you kindly xcs!

It was a good thought and MR BC (and the cats) loved every bit of it. I had to put it in an ice chest, since we couldn't open the fridge or freezer and undo what cold we had in there. There was plenty of ice outside and I collected it falling out the trees before Mr BC made it to the store with a friend and picked up 3 bags for the cooler.
me... May I suggest a small trolley/grocery cart or other wheeled container to add to your Icepocalyse prep? I had a good foldable one that I used for short trips to the supermart.
Well, glad your navy made an appearance, Cookie, and it is gorgeous with your lovely sweater. But that pink is just spectacular.Today - a shocker.
A shocker - I tell you!!!
My navy Kachinas was not worn once last year… the pink usurped it!!
Today I remedied that,

And told the pink Kachinas to behave itself.

Glad you are safe after such a week, Bunnycat. I love the way you tied your Acte III and you look so glam in your chic MT.I am starting to get caught up. Everything from the past week has created an avalanche of things to be done around here. In addition to all of the research for solar equipment (for next time) and beginning a safety update for my studio, I got up on the roof after everything melted to trim some limbs, and we did get some roof damage. So we immediately called a roofing place recommended to us to try and get an appointment since more rain was on the way. Luckily, he fit us in, and did a quick patch to protect the torn shingles and will come and replace them when it dries up here. So very very many plants in the yard to either cut back, dig up or just plain replace after all this. I spent the other day chopping back the big prickly pear that didn't make it and replanting any of the firm (I don't know what it is called in English) nopales in hopes they will root and cutting back two ratty Crepe Myrtles. That wore me out!
As for scarves- Acte iii hasn't seen the sun since last year some time, so I took an opportunity to wear that the other day (before all the yard work and roof climbing...)

And today, the leather ended maxi twilly that rarely sees the light of day, because it is fairly dressy, and since 2020 I have been living the opposite of dressy. I didn't even want to attempt to put a scarf ring on it to hold it, so I used one of my Hapi bracelets as a scarf ring belt for it.

Yes! Great strategy, Lkb, your blouse and sweater bring out the berry colors beautifully.
As noted by many here, RBH, your pearls are stunning
. Abd just gorgeous with that cw of PeF. The hem!Safe journey, Lkb, and enjoy. Zabavushka definitely gets a new look with your versatile blouse. Lovely. Congratulations on Les Triplets - will be lovely in spring, much like my Regina, which shares similar colors. And you don’t look like a creamsicle at all! Although I might resemble a popsicle with my orange sweater
. 
Bunny, you are heroic! So is your mom.Thank you kindly xcs!

It is STUNNING, Marie-the-MaryI had been waiting for this Peuple du Vent (my other obsession besides Tapis Persans) mousseline changeante to pop up on my local resseller platform for so long! 3 years, I would say. I was overjoyed when I found it, late December, at a decent price; but I have been working so hard since then that I couldn't find some time to go to the shops and look for a sweater THE right color. I like it against black but I think that this color (or this no-color!) doesn't really do it justice. It deserves better; I actually don't know which color, though. I have admired it from time to time, between two work sessions and it has been sadly sitting in my drawer, awaiting less hectic times. Poor thing.
