The last day of winter went by without much fanfare. As you can see in the photo, spring arrived so quickly that it took all of the trees by surprise.
I wasn't hot on this week's Friday Five, so I dug around for an old one from January of last year.
1. You've just won a complete collection of movies starring one actor - what actor would you pick?
Harrison Ford is the first actor that comes to mind. Audrey Hepburn is the first actress that pops into my head.
2. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Charlotte Sometimes
3. What was the last video or DVD that you bought?
Gosford Park
4. What movie could you watch over and over again and not get sick of?
Lord of the Rings, either the Fellowship or the Two Towers. But really, I'm sure there would be a point where even the wonders of Middle Earth would wear thin.
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?
If everything goes as planned, I will be seeing Les Misérables on Saturday. I'll also be assembling a hall tree with storage bench, similar to the one shown here. It includes the flip top but not the hat.









How strange that this piece of furniture is called a "tree". I wonder why. Do you know?
My only guess is that since it serves the same purpose as a coat tree, which actually resembles a leafless tree, someone was too lazy to think of a new name. Personally, I'd call it something unoriginal like "entryway bench". :)
