Front Porch is Done!

So of course my R&R days turned into anything but. I woke up at 5:15 am on Wednesday, being as that was what I was waking up at for the last few weeks, and had coffee and shaved the lower half of my legs. When they get that bad you have to break the task up into smaller parts. I mowed the lawn which was also quite the daunting task since it had been several weeks and we had gotten a lot of rain. My old chief stopped by today and told me he almost came over and mowed it for me. Almost, huh? Ahh well. It's the thought that counts. Then I sanded my front porch deck and stained it, went grocery shopping, pulled weeds, dyed my hair and watched a movie.

This morning I got up at 5:45 am (getting better), had coffee, shaved the upper half of my legs and took a nap. Then I got up and went into town to buy another rose bush and some flowers. I looked for a weed eater but the choices were confusing so I gave up. The weeds will live to see another day, and probably become several feet taller. I threw my fire clothes in the washing machine and went out to plant my new flowers. My boss stopped by so I gave him a tour of my messy house and then went back to my flowers. I put another load of laundry in and crashed on the couch with a couple of Guinness and Chambord (yum!) and watched a Spanish horror flick. Then I went out to set up my front porch and pull more weeds.

I'm calling it quits for the night and I'm getting itchy from pulling weeds, but I thought I'd post a couple pics of my front porch.

Porch before and after.

Just a quick glimpse at my house as spring arrives. It's late in the day so the light isnt great. When the flowers bloom a little more I'll get some better ones.
