Crappy Rainy Vacation Day and Good Smells

For the love of god!

I'm trapped inside by the rain and now I have no choice but to hang pictures, rearrange furniture, start swapping out winter clothes, and mop my floors. Dagnabbit.

Alas, there's no 14-hour "House" marathon to distract me like there was yesterday. (I fear I've become far too captivated by television, and I can't wait for Spring to finally settle in for awhile.so I can go outside and play.)

Today was supposed to be "First Ride of the Season on the Cyclone" Day with Roni, but the weather put the kibosh on that. Again, dagnabbit.

At least my house smells yummy. Instant potpourri: as you peel an orange for a snack, toss the peels into a small saucepan with a tablespoon of cloves. Cinnamon optional (tigers hate cinnamon). Add water to cover. Simmer over a very low flame as your house fills with good smells. Toss in more water as needed.
