Wrinkles

Spring is but a month away and you can already see the buds on the trees and the uncountable numbers of tiny white blossoms on the plum tree that sits squarely on the lawn in front of our main door. Beautiful. Glad that tree will stay. It was at mortal risk from sitting squarely in front of our main door.

The furniture and stuff from the warehouse in Singapore arrived yesterday. The large sofa set that cost a small fortune when we bought it for Li Hwan was at the living room when I came home from work. Large wrinkles criss cross the expanse of the seats - reminds one of a new born babe. Let's hope like a new born babe, the wrinkles will gradually give way to smooth soft skin.

So we switched it around. Now the Nautilius 3-seater from Macy's and the rosewood seats and side table face the beautiful fireplace in the living room and the Nautilius from Li Hwan is in the family room. I am still trying to get used to the black leather. It jars with my memory of the beautiful unique dark maroon that graced the living room of Li Hwan. After a while, the wrinkles don't look so bad. Maybe it is growing familiar.

I know I should be out there walking. Need the exercise. Enjoy the crisp air of late winter and admire the struggling buds of the cherry blossoms.
