A Nut Dish

Would believe I have a nut dish? Just the one.

A boat shaped Lenox nut dish.

Steve had a container of mixed nuts and I saw it and thought, wait a minute, somewhere in a China closet there is a designated dish to hold nuts.

I’m serious. A wedding gift in 1974, it was paired with that lidded Lenox candy dish I posted the other day.

An added spoon would be the best way to serve the nuts so people don’t stick their hands in the dish.

Two Robins at Home and a Deer in the Backyard

A Flexible Flyer hangs on the garage wall.

Early Wednesday morning I was headed out to Cardio class at the Senior Center.

The robins didn’t mind my getting in my car. I photographed them through the windshield.

I had just photographed the deer resting on the way back yard. Wondering if her baby was hiding in the weeds. Where she’d placed him or her.

A regular wildlife refuge. They feel safe here.

Before she heard me
On alert

Bunny Night Light

I bought this bunny night light when my granddaughter stayed with me last summer. I like having it in the bathroom.

At Home in My Garage

A year ago I posted a robin in a nest photo from when I pulled into my garage. Deja vu.

The exact same spot!

This morning when I returned from walking with the seniors in the cemetery, I saw the mother Robin in her nest.

She must feel safe.

Folding a Load of Towels

  1. Folding a load of towels can be satisfying. Bath towels, hand towels, beach towels, dish towels, washcloths. There are many ways to fold towels.

When I’m visiting my daughter I ask her to remind me how she folds her towels so I can replicate her method.

They need to fit on the linens shelf the way she’s accustomed to. Linen closet space might determine your preference.

I fold mine differently at home.

Do you think there’s a right way? A proper way? Do you fold/roll towels the way your mother did? Do you think about why you have a preference? Do your towels look like you’re in a fancy hotel or spa?

Here’s an article on Five Ways to Fold Towels

And there’s also the debate whether to Fold or Roll. Which is better?

These Dryer Balls Make Laundry Fun

There are three new woolly sheep dryer balls who’ve joined the three baby seals. One baby seal didn’t get upstairs to be photographed.

You throw the wool balls into the dryer with the damp clothes (in place of a dryer sheet)

Wool dryer balls are reusable, biodegradable, non-toxic, and fragrance-free.” And they help the clothes dry 25% faster according to reports of the benefits of purchasing them.

I enjoy using them. A bright spot during chores and if you need some these are from FriendSheep

Baby Seals came as a bday surprise from dc and the three new sheep are from JB. Thank you
