Sunny Sunday turns into Wintery Weekdays

Yesterday was a perfect Sunday. While I barely left the house, the deck provided the perfect spot to bask in the warmth. With a little Sinatra and friends playing, I resigned myself to the deck  w/ C, Rita and my two furballs (who spent the day tracking and chattering at finches) and got my hands a little dirty. 

That one day of sun and smiles shall carry me through the upcoming week of rain and snow.

Channeling my Illy obsession

I've been receiving monthly home deliveries of Illy coffee for over a year now. 2 cans every month. And in this time, I haven't been able to bring myself to dispose of the majority of my leftover cans. I have them lining the top of my cabinets, on my desk in the sunroom, under my kitchen sink... Tired of watching them multiply and simply gather dust, I am making a conscious effort to discover alternative uses for their red and silver loveliness. Here is use #1:

I love to grow fresh herbs. The local rabbits love to eat my herbs. My beloved Illy cans are tallenough that those adorable yet pesky furballs can't reach them. Also, I can easily transport them back and forth to the kitchen.
