• 2nd Thursday Post

  Since some are interested, I thought I’d post a few pictures of how the house is coming along.

  First of all, those missed spots (where the blue showed through) were covered up yesterday.
  

  He must be doing the easy parts first, and will then finish under the eaves and the very bottom of the house.  “Odd” things are unpainted.  Like our chimney!  Here is the remnants of our blue house – i.e. the blue chimney!!!
  

  Although the white trim on our front porch hasn’t been repainted yet, this will give you an idea of the new WWII army tank color I have chosen!  See that one blue board on the porch???????? 
  
  I know I’m joking about the color, even though my description is very close to accurate!!!!  But, I like the way it sets a backdrop for our plants.  That large bush will remain green, as will the front yard’s pine tree, during the winter.

  Also, he tied back our bushes to paint as much of the house as he could without us having to cut our fluffy evergreen bush.
  

  Speaking of seasons . . .

  I decided it was time to put away the purple irises in my foyer
  

  and replace them with purple mums.
  
  For some reason the flowers photographed as a pink color, but they are almost an eggplant purple.  Probably the photographer’s fault and not the camera’s.  It never IS the camera’s fault!!!!

  Hummmmm . . . I see my lamp shade is crooked.  I should take more pictures of my house to see what else is out of kilter!  The more you live with a mess, the more time you have to get used to it, until you no longer see it!

  That’s all for now. Off to eat lunch and do some school work.
