The green, green, .....




Ok, not the green, green grass of home (if you don't know the song it was an Elvis song) but the paint is green. Beautiful day today-70 degrees so perfect for painting. We painted the front, and part of the side. Still need to trim out window. When all done, we will make some shutters and hang them-they will make a huge difference.

We also hung two blinds. Found wooden blinds at big lots for $20 each! Only challenge is we had to cut them to length. So far, 2 cut and we are ok. 2 more to go, once that saw blade goes down you are pretty committed. Measure three times-cut once! I still need to shorten then as you can tell by the picture. Another slightly painful task but one that is doable.

Also made the two very simple pillows on the couch. Plan to head down next Friday and Saturday. Then hope to spend Thanksgiving there.

The deer were all over the place. Guessing the hunters are happy!
