MOOD BOARD

 

Another lovely and relaxing weekend for the most part. I spent the first part of the weekend putting the Christmas trimmings away, and once organized and shelfed, a deep clean of the house commenced. It always feels so nice and clean once the decorations come down...other than that, I made a nice Poached Fish a'la nage for din-din Saturday and spent Sunday collecting some fallen branches from last week's gales to add to the fire pit. And as one saw- a flurry of birds lately from yesterday's post. Of course, Sophie was on garden patrol chasing the squirrels back up into the trees. Heavens forbid anyone else step foot in the garden. I told the little ankle biter she needs to mind her manners, as they are part of my minions for world domination against the Party of Rot if need be! I work a half day and then heading to enjoy a day of pamper at the spa for the full works. I'm really looking forward to the full body wrap and the 90-minute body massage the most, which is long overdue. I'm sure Ansel will make me feel rejuvenated. Alicia does my facial, and finally a girl named Sequoia handles my mani-pedi, with a hot paraffin dip. Hey, just because I'm getting older, doesn't mean the showcase can't still gleam and sparkle.

Is it really Monday???
