Well, we are finally finishing one of our settling-in projects here! It's nothing compared to MsC's library, but Jim & I moved dozens of boxes of books here (90% his, well maybe only 85%, mostly SFF), and they've been only partly unpacked & shelved. He finally sorted through another dozen boxes that had been stored for about 10 years, and he decided about half of them were worthy of shelf space. Now he's going through the other books, taking down any that "weren't that good." I think he finally really looked at the room and the bookshelves, and he realized that he didn't have much room for new books unless he took some away. I've been helping with this project (a good way to ensure that my favorites end up on the shelf!), and I'm pleased to report that authors A through K are sorted and shelved! This weekend, he'll do some weeding-out of authors L through Z, and then I'll help him shuffle the books around on those shelves.

Now, maybe we can do some painting this fall.... ROTFL!

I've been busy with my "Uptown babies" (on the plant stand in the upstairs bedroom)... moved a few trays of plantlets to a basement light shelf, making more room for the plants that remain, and sorting out the ones that I'm keeping from those that are available. Now I need to make a list of the plants & plantlets that need new homes! :-) I've been doing a lot of repotting and up-potting and putting down suckers, too.

'Sure to Please' is another that may be going out in all my fall boxes... my original plant suckered like crazy this spring, producing lots of nice crowns to pot up, plus I had a well grown leaf pot that yielded I think 7 more plantlets.

Sure to Please (A. E. Adams) Single white, rose and mauve variable. Crown variegated green and cream, serrated, girl foliage. Semiminiature
