Just love getting a glimpse of your homes..see that my bedroom is ready for my visit Stacey..yours here has undergone quite a transformation..from patio door to new breakfast deck and lower decking, lots of place to put a crib..lol

Stacey, what color will the nursery be?

Friend of mine used to purchase a few bristleboards and paint them, put on the wall and live with it a few days..either you get a feel for it or NOT...

Did get off at 1:00 and by 1:40 I was home, came in just long enough to change ..got all the decks washed off, gardens trimmed and did a lot of weeding..tomorrow's another day, hot bath for me..calling for a hot one tomorrow so I'll be up at the crack of dawn and will pressure wash the house and do the windows and if I get that done well I'll be pleased with my endeavors...

We're all in a painting, decorating and tidying up the gardens mood aren't we..now how come we didn't do this in the spring, we'd be relaxing now.

Was working in the garden, telephone rang, was my insurance agent, wanted to give me heads up that my policy was going into the mail and it went up 26% , almost stopped breathing, omg talk about a rise..then we got talking about this new auto insurance that started Sept.1, where we got 100K for health benefits it's now down to 50K and if you want to upgrade what WAS all inclusive about another 18%..sure wish pensions and wages went up that high..when I asked why so much she said that policy is replacement actual cost..so if house did burn, they'd rebuild without penalty..for some that's not a problem, for me with my cooking and burning food I'd better be well insured, so ask me if it was a good way to start my weekend..she could have waited until Monday!!!

On my way home though, did stop at a garage sale at a farm, they had a little stove, it does work, I'll put a candle in it and place it in my garden; they wanted $40.00 but I gave them $30.00...

Linda Kay they also had a beautiful book on North American birds, of course I thought of your dad and bought it, next time I cross the border I'll mail it out (not before looking through it though) lol

Also had a wood chandelier, my metal one in the hidden garden didn't fare well this past winter so bought it, going to paint the wood green and sand to match the potting bench that's in same area ... thought I might get that done tonight but I'm exhausted...

See the little stove..put it temp. near the back shed, it will be in a garden once I get some digging and planting done.
