And I have the garden in.
But here is the challenge of the day. Debra bought in a very nice new couch for the living room.
It clearly needs a picture above it. I have spent the morning scouring the internet for an appropriate picture. I have a notion that a Hudson River School landscape might be good, and I'd like something that has a local connection, and will go well with the various Audubon prints we have.
So I think I have it.

Now I just have to figure out where to get a print. I wonder what Debra will think of this plan.
