Who wouldn't want a Book Wall?

I didn't get much done out in the yard this week, mainly because it was too cold. Friday was the one sunny, warm day, so I got some weeding done in the front yard. I also pruned back my ume tree. (I followed the directions in my Japanese pruning book...I hope it turns out okay.)

My dad finished a wall of shelves in the guest room. The shelves wrap around to the sides of the window seat. It didn't take long before I filled them with books.

That takes care of most of the paperbacks. The hardcovers will go on the other side of the window seat. It's nice to be able to whittle away at the mountains of boxes filling all corners of the house.
