Big Day, Lots of Good, Tiring

Lynn Blessing Our New Place With Sweet Georgia Brown

We signed the lease on the new apartment yesterday.
Good sign, we found an old crochet hook (Size H) in the channel of the balcony so at least one of the former residents was a crafter.
Not so good, recent resident was a smoker so the air was not good for folks like us with allergies to cigarette smoke. We have an air purifier on its way to us. Oscar is also fighting a bad cold, terrible timing. He is gutting it out, but I wish so much I could do more to help. I will be making Medicine Soup for supper, I guess that helps too.
Really great: Lynnie came soon after we signed the lease and helped Oscar move LOTS of stuff!
Better yet, right after we smudged the place (which we try to do asap when moving to a new space) she brought out Oscar's Fluke and played Sweet Georgia Brown. What a terrific way to set the energy for our life there! It was the best :-} (photo above).
Another terrific thing was the view off our balcony. I have a tree, front and center! I hope to put a bird feeder out there soon. This summer I will have some plants, but they might need to be shade plants as our balcony faces west, but is blocked from the south by a portion of the building. I'll know for certain when the seasons change. As the sun moves north, I may get some good afternoon sunlight and be able to grow some herbs and annual flowers. For winter though, only indoor shade plants. Still, It is light and welcoming inside the apartment, with lots of windows in the main living space and a really nice-sized kitchen, especially for an apartment. Here are some more quick photos I took yesterday.
