Ok I got a picture of Rita!



She was root bound in her old pot from the nursery, I was happy to get her another one. Thankfully she doesn't require much light so she's good to go. I wanted to get her a terra cotta pot but there were none for her size :( I don't like plastic but I think this one is cutely colored ...

After a day of nothing special at work, Alex had a present for me!



It's a RCA Victor radio, probably from around the 40s. It is missing a knob and can't work due to outdated technology, but it's beautiful and I'm happy to have it top of my TV stand. I'll probably hit it with some wood oil and add the knob and it should be good to go!

This weekend I'm going out to Corpus Christi to pick and jelly grapes on a ranch thats a couple hundred years old, owned by a friend's family. I fully expect to have many wildlife photos to upload and, uh, grape picking, and ... Buc-Ees hauls.

You guys don't understand.

Buc-Ees is a religion here.

AhhhHHGH.... I'm tired. Yesterday I went to a funeral a little over an hour away, DEEP in bumfuck Texas, to a graveside service with no shade in 96F weather. I worked for 9 hours with no lunch break. That sucked. Also I was the only one wearing a mask, which was concerning. BUT it was a very pretty little cemetery that I enjoyed being at.



Scribbled out some of the names on the tombstones for privacy's sake lol. Despite the raging heat it was beautiful.

The day before, me and Alex went to the local antique mall. The place is MASSIVE, and you rarely see another person in your hall (it works on a grid system) so we felt safe social distancing there. Alex was sweet enough to buy me a pair of creepy porcelain deers to add to my creepy porcelain animal collection.



This is on top of my TV, with a creepy Eastern European angel from Friend Shannon and an assortment of cards I've received lately... The two terrifying rabbits are Timmy and Tommy, but the sweet little deer need names. Do you guys have any ideas?

Lastly, on the way out I found some cards from 1909-1913 for a buck each! And I will be sending them to those of you who gave me your addresses! I love reusing old cards -- They're often so beautiful and I'd rather use them to make someone's day than have them rot in an attic or in the trash. I will probably add a layer of cardstock to the back for my message to my DW friends, rather than erase or try to destroy any messages the people before it had written.



Look forward to seeing these things in your mailboxes!
