Moving In and Out of Time here in Maine--- Saturday March 7th. Son shoved snow early. It's WET.

An Engraved Beetle.... I will go back and find names and makers for you.  Isn't it lovely?  Made of Copper and Rose Gold.   Beetle is by Jonathan W Gemmell.  He might have an instagram feed.

There is a chill in the house......I have heat turned up but the spaces in the large rooms are too much and it's Maine...who knows what the situation is behind the walls- insulation????? House was built during a BOOM and supplies were limited...  the bedrooms are warmer as I had work done there...but we never made it to the living room, dining room and kitchen....I doubt there is much insulating this room from the back wall of the garage.   I am waiting for Spring and 50 degrees....I can managed 50 degrees. Right now I use a heating pad on lowest setting to warm up my down lap throw...while watching British Soccer or reading books.

Houses here were for Spring, Summer and Fall...then everyone packed up for Florida for the Winter. I am living in a Maine Summer House.  365.  The Boiler is working hard.   I might consider Florida in the decade to come but just for the Winter....a balcony over looking some water...paper, brushes and paint. Sounds like a decent retirement.  80 to 88.  Outliving all my dead relatives.  

Well, that might be a Pipe Dream.....today I will finish reading a book, watch Soccer and miss out on Saturday cooking shows due to PBS Fundraising.   My Lunch Buddy said I could actually get ALL the PBS content of mysteries etc on Am. Prime.  Which might be why the Fund Raising has become Quarterly rather than Annually.  Smarter People than ME have gone over to Prime.

Well, I need to go find the Beetle information for you......
