Good and Bad

[textualdeviance]

First, the good:

My parents sent me this gorgeous piece to add to my Willow collection. I love it!

Willow Wash Stand, originally uploaded by TextualDeviance.

And then the bad:

About an hour ago, I heard a crack and a muffled crash from outside. It didn't sound that terrible, so I assumed it was a chunk of snow breaking free from a roof and sliding off.





This is what's left of the half-gazebo thing that surrounds our hot tub.

For reference, it's supposed to look like this:

I guess it's not a real Snowpocalypse here without collapsing roofs. The '96 one took out a carport roof and with it, the back window of my old '77 Colt. Sigh...

M seems to think it's not that bad, though. He thinks it just pulled some bolts free, rather than breaking the wood itself. I hope he's right, because that sucker would be expensive to replace.

The good news is that it's supposed to rain tomorrow. RAIN! Beautiful, gorgeous, snow-melting rain!

We're hoping it clears enough that we can get out tomorrow and run some errands and then head down to PDX sometime Saturday. Theoretically, it's not supposed to get below freezing again for the next several days, so we may be safe. Hopehopehope.

That wash stand is gorgeous! How marvelous.

Sorry to hear about the half-gazebo, though.

Still: Wash stand! Pretty! :-)

Merry happy!
