As I've mentioned we are having our home painted inside and out. We hired wonderful painters that are doing a great job. All this being said, we still are working quite hard at doing all the prep that needs to be done with our possessions. All pictures, mirrors, china and drapery has to be taken down and stored where they are not painting. I'm washing the curtains and hanging them on the line to catch the breeze and the sunshine. They smell amazing off the line! I consider myself to be a pretty good housekeeper, but do you know how much dust can lurk behind furniture and pictures? Whew, what a big job! Painting really can be an eye opener! I know why we don't do this as often as we should!
Meanwhile the garden is keeping me centered. Even with our awful freeze, we have lovely blooms left on our dogwoods.
Our resident cardinals always brighten our days. How could you not get a thrill when you see their beauty! The dogwood is the state tree of Virginia and the cardinal is our state bird.
The winds have been blowing and the cardinal was dancing up and down on the limb.
He finally decided it was time to move on.
The garden flag features some of my favorite friends.
Pretty soon I'll be busy potting up some annuals for the patio. I can hardly wait. My potting shed will be getting a paint job as well. You can see it needs it!
Meanwhile the bunny and I are waiting for warm days ahead spent in our garden.
