A Beautiful Sunday

Being able to hang things on the line

 almost makes up for the pool being gone.
I love the sweet smell of sun-kissed laundry!

Time for a New Look

Late last year it seems that I had used up all my storage space on Blogger.

 I thought I was done blogging. 

So,  I deleted a few blogs that I really wasn't updating. 

I guess it was enough to free up some space!

 So here I am....for however long it lasts!

 This is my newest project.

 In December we bought a new piece of furniture, 

the couch/futon/guest bed on the left. 

Previously we were using the hide a bed love seat on the right...yeah the one ready to go out the door.

This year one of my goals is to repaint/freshen up all the rooms in our home. 

This room is the first to be checked off the list.

Before

After

 I have a few things to add to this room, however, the hard part is complete!

 

 I love the soft blues and greens. It feels so calming to me.

I'm undecided on the wall treatment the for the wall behind the couch. 

I'll let you know when I decide!

Looking Ahead aka Preparing for Spring Planting

This past Sunday I decided it was time to do that heavy yard cleaning I have been planning. The weather was perfect for working in the yard. In fact it was so perfect I did hard manual labor for 6 1/2 straight hours with only two water breaks. I filled all three of our 90 gallon barrels to the top!

Here are a few before and after pictures.

screeeeeeeeching halt!.........

 It seems that I have come to the end of my Google/Picasa limit on photo storage. 

I will not be purchasing a monthly plan just to post photos.

 Any blogging I may or may not do in the future will be words only.

Thanks Google for taking the pressure off  and possibly bringing my blogging to an end.

...Or maybe I will look into Word Press or one of the other blogging forums?

Thanksgiving 2012

One of  the many perks to to not hosting Thanksgiving in your home? 

Getting a jump start on decorating!
