Banana Bench

So what luck I have!  Remember when I was writing (probably boring you to death) about how I REALLY wanted to find some sort of container that I could start a compost in?  Well, I found TWO this morning!  I was on my way to Tiny Cup for some caffeine enhanced computing and ta-dah!!  Right in someone's trash heap I found a beautifully haggard red and green Sterilite container and a smaller blue Rubbermaid, both with lids!!  Let the rotting begin!

I don't know if this gives you a very good idea of how much I LOVE our apartment, but on my way out of the house for the second time today (after bringing my new found treasures home) I snapped these shots.  The upper left is my studio from the door.  Those are the curtains I made last week out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics my Gram gave me a couple years ago (thanks Gram!!)  The upper right is a view of the "front" where we enter the apartment into the kitchen/breakfast nook.  The bathroom is to the right of the bike.  Mikey rigged up a shelf for us to hang our bikes on.  That's my sweet ride you're looking at.  The lower left is a shot from the kitchen looking at our futon bed/couch.  We're still waiting to get some art on the walls... when we make it :-)  The lower right is obviously the garage ;-)

Why is this not my bench?  

I found this on my ridiculously long walk yesterday.  I was in search of a plate-saturated thrift store or two.  Instead I found a banana bench, signs and a found sculpture:

(I like the structures in this shot, along with the vast space-- well, vast for a city.)

(found sculpture-- I like this about as much as I like saying, "banana bench".)
