I finished up my To-Do List today. I planted my tulips on the east side and fixed my black horse lamp. I was my mother's lamp and several years ago, I found it in my parent’s basement. All that was left of it was the base of two black horse heads. I got a lamp kit from home depot and wired the lamp and bought a new shade. It is a white pleated shade. I bought some black and white gingham check ribbon and glued it around the top and bottom of the shade and at the bottom of the base of the lamp. The horses are a very shiny black ceramic. In the Vineland house, I had it on the sewing desk. It is white and has a faux black and whit marble surface. The lamp went well on it. I have it on the little computer desk here in Maryland. After inspecting it, I found the socket had fallen down inside the sleeve and the bulb was not making contact. It didn't reach the socket. I pulled it up and the lamp works fine. I thought I was going to have to get another kit. I still might if the socket doesn't stay in place.

It was a beautiful day today. I guess it is a real Indian summer as there was frost on the ground yesterday morning and today it was in the 70's. It was a good day for working outside. The maple trees are turning. Maybe I'll get some pictures tomorrow. I just had Danny out in the yard before he turned in and went to bed. The stars show up very well here. There is no light pollution except for the street light in the mobile home park. It supposed to be another good day tomorrow. I'll be heading back to Vineland. I have someone coming to see the house. Cross your fingers and say a prayer that they will buy the house. I am anxious to get moved in here.
