Scurvy

Giant semi truck brought my slate flooring today. The best part is the bright purple forklift. It has rear wheel steering, and the fork can go up, down, left, right, front, and back. Even has a orange spinning light. It's so cool. I was tempted to trade the slate flooring for the purple forklift.


275 pieces of Silvery Grey slate from Brazil. 2 feet by 2 feet and 8lbs each. 4 giant crates in total. I'd hate to be the person to move a quarter of these tiles upstairs. Purple forklift is 9 feet wide. Doesn't even fit through the fence gate. And I discovered that the tree behind the slate is a blood orange tree. I've always wanted a blood orange tree. This is the first time since I moved in that the tree has set fruit. It was very neglected with poor soil. I spent a lot of time trimming and adding organic compost and mulch and attracting earthworms. I'm very happy that my efforts have borne fruit. (Ha ha. I made a pun.)


I ate three of these today. Blood oranges are my favorite orange variety. So delicious. Wonderful deep red color. WIth a subtle cherry flavor. So delicious. As are the last of the clementine tangerines. Those taste like honey. So delicious. No scurvy for me.


Bathtub getting a makeover. Feet removed, primer applied. The new color will be warm grey to match the glass tile. Yes, the tub is heavy.


Clawfeet with new matte aluminum finish. Now that I've had some close up time with these feet. They're actually pretty scary. What were they thinking? Talons clutching balls- not exactly a relaxing image to have when I'm naked in a bathtub.
