I do like the blue of this blog's background. I am busy these days making a new apartment into a home. It's a lovely space full of good light and hardwood floors. It feels loved. I talked to the landlord the other day. He moved out just a year or two ago, but he had lived here since 1963. "My wife never wanted to move from here," he said. I can see why. I like to think that she approves of us being here because we love it, too, and we're taking care of it.
