bedroom, big girl pants, colour, drawn, paint, paint chip, pink, Rona, welcome, widow

spent some time at Rona on Saturday looking for just the right colour of paint for the bedroom…

brought home this paint chip and think it may have just the right colour…

I am often drawn to a colour by the name…

the one I am leaning towards is Angel’s Gaze… cool for a bedroom and has a slight pink tone…

for years the living room was painted a lovely pale pink which made it so welcoming and comfortable…

looking forward to the changes…

big girl pants, ceiling, lighting, lights, paint, sunlight, sunrise, widow

apparently yesterday was quite full…

started in the morning with a lovely sunrise…

wonderful to have the sunshine… a bit later I noticed the sun lighting up the waterfall…

picked up some cushions on sale while I was out grocery shopping…

while the kids were here for dinner they scraped down a large section of the kitchen ceiling where the paint had been peeling… what a mess it made, lol… but now I won’t have to worry about it falling on my head…

and finally last evening the lights all came on at the correct time and went off when they were supposed to…

lots happened and it was all fun…

big girl pants, clouds, moon, paint, purple, setting, widow

yesterday morning I spent some time taking pictures of the moon as it was setting… it was very early and the sky had lots of clouds when I started…

after checking through the pictures on the computer, this is the one I am most pleased with…

this morning got this picture of the sun rising amidst the clouds…

kids were over and did a little work on the siding, trying to waterproof the repaired hydro connection…

and scraping some of the peeling paint…

think I’ve found a company to paint the trim and soon those purple doors are going to have a fresh look;-)…

fresh…

big girl pants, fresh, garden, light, lobster, morning glory, paint

out and about this morning… picked up painting supplies so my daughter can paint the front and back doors… they are purple, but very faded so she is going to freshen them up for me…

  
also picked up some gray trim paint to go around the back door and patio door… will look lovely and fresh when this is done… 

  
right now the paint is peeling horribly…

thrilled today to see a morning glory from the deck…

  
to see the others I had to be in the garden area…

spotted two of the tiny tomatoes starting to turn colour, oh yay!

  
looking forward to eating them soon…

yesterday I purchased some fresh green and yellow beans which we included with our dinner tonight, although only my daughter and I eat them…

also picked up the fixings for steak and lobster dinner today… that was usually our anniversary splurge… amazingly, all of the grandkids like lobster already… don’t think our girls even got to taste it until they were in their teens, lol…

dinner was great and the lobster delicious… lobster is fine for me, but that butter, not so much…

now I am sitting in the garden, with a blanket on, watching a red squirrel do acrobatics to get seeds out of the bird feeder…   

it had been there for ages, but as soon as I went to take the picture it darted away, lol…

been a busy day, and the light is fading… 9:40 and I had to put a light on in the garage to put things in their places…
