My day started out with a bang! I was up before dawn, had breakfast and started working. It was to be a day that I accomplished what I set out to do. My first goal was to decorate the storage room for the clue hunt. This windowless room was to become a shop of sorts and I needed to redo everything. Yesterday, I had made a clean sweep of the area. Everything was removed from the room which left me with a clean slate to use. I had incredible ideas of just how it was to look so I set my mind to creating the perfect spot. Boxes and boxes of "stuff" were hauled from the house and shoved in one corner. I wanted everything close at hand so I could delve right into my task.
Both doors to the room were flung open so I could take advantage of the cool breeze. This was perfect. I started filling the shelves with my props when suddenly Ms. Nycto, the Bayou Princess (aka cat) came barreling into the room. She scooted under a chair and was not about to even look at me. Well now! I wondered what had gotten into that cat? Boom! Uh, oh. Suddenly a torrential downpour started pelting the rooftop. I was trapped! There was no escaping the store room. If I made a dash for the house, I would be soaked to the bone! So....Ms. Nycto and I stayed put for the next three hours!
It was not all bad, though. In those three hours, I completely transformed the store room into a "Shop of Curiosities". I feel good about my efforts and hope those attending the clue hunt appreciate my being cut off from the world for three whole hours! I, also, got in a good amount of petting time with the cat. She decided that my company was rather nice during a thunderstorm!
Tomorrow sees me transforming the greenhouse. My day will start about the same as it did today AND we are predicted to have more rain. I might become trapped in the greenhouse for most of the day....guess I had better pack a lunch! Fun stuff!
