Until you have dusted…

a house warmed with coal, you haven’t lived!!!

Long, long ago my house was heated with coal, and there’s dust to prove it.  I pulled down one of the storm windows upstairs this morning to wipe some of the condensation off.  It was really looking bad as it streaked through the coal dust.  I have mentioned before that you can tap on the walls here and get a shower of coal dust from between the walls and ceilings.  Coal dust is hidden everywhere and probably always will be.  In fact, I dig up coal when I am out in the garden, evidence of a time when coal was kept in good supply for heating through the winter.

Dust in my house is black.  That’s what it looks like!

All the rain we have had lately, combined with my new pond pump, has made my goldfish pond clearer and clearer.  My little spot by the goldfish pond is such a respite these days.

It’s a tiny spot, but the reflection of the sun on the water is magical.  It is so relaxing to watch the fish.  If only you could hear the water.  I’ll try and come up with a little video.

I took a picture of one of the goldfish eating.

I am off to work soon.  There is a kielbasa stew in the crock pot and a pot of brown rice for my family to eat tonight.  Today is my “Friday,” so I look forward to a couple of days off.
