Good to the last drop!
'Johnny was a chemist's son,
But Johnny is no more
'Cause what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4.'
Some years ago, Kevin brought home this great old [empty] sulfuric acid bottle with its bright blue plastic stopper. I've always liked it, and always think of that poem when I see it.
I also think of how much better things would look around here if I'd dust more often. (Were you aware of the fact that 'dust' is also a verb? Depressing, isn't it!)
I remember that as a kid one of my jobs was dusting the furniture. We always had chores on Saturday mornings and then usually had Saturday afternoons off, if we got all our chores done (I think they call that child abuse these days). Anyway, I had to really get all the dust off - like even the rungs of chairs and shelves.
These days, I take note of how tall our expected guests are before I dust. I mean, really, if they're all shorter than 5'8", what's the point of dusting the highest library shelves that are not going to be seen anyway?? Okay, that's a bit tongue-in-cheek. But I count on friends coming to see us, not to inspect our house.
Burning wood to heat the house, we seem to have more than our fair share of dust. Right now, I'm letting it accumulate a while to prove that it's not controlling me.
Besides, I need to spend time online learning about Etsy Circles and Etsy Treasuries. There's always something, isn't there!

So what are you up to today? Any dusting on the agenda? I seriously hope you have something more interesting going on.

That's cocoa, not dust, in the photo above. :-)
