Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
Lots of Paint
The basic outline of the art studio is taking shape. There are lots of touch ups to do, but since the walls will be covered with art (hopefully) and it will be full of ‘stuff,’ I’m not too concerned with perfection.
It took many coats of white paint to get it to this stage. It could use another coat, and the ceiling needs more paint. But my patience with painting wore thin and I stopped for the day.
We mowed the front lawn on Wednesday morning, It was very humid. I was supposed to be putting the mower away after mowing the edge of the corral. Don had gone inside. I ended up mowing the corral, too. Typical. I pushed it a bit too much. Don’s words to me when I entered the house: “I know what you did.”
Yep! He’ll sometimes say “Lucy….!” in a Ricky Ricardo voice.
We took it easy yesterday, though I did shoot a video of our end-of-the-summer gardens. I added music to it and posted it on my YouTube Channel. You might like it. Here’s the link. It’s so pretty, if I do say so myself!
We watched Casablanca last night. No words. Truly one of my top five movies. We can’t stop talking about it even though we’ve seen it many, many times.
It’s a beautiful day today and I plan on enjoying our property and our porch.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
Butterflies and Skies
I’ve seen more Eastern Swallowtails in the past few days than I have in 3 years! I can see this giant thistle from my chair in the den, so I’ve been watching a lovely little show.
We finally got our deductions off to our tax preparer. But not until late yesterday afternoon. I’m so relieved that it’s DONE.
Mowing is on the docket for today. I just have to figure out what section of the property I want to tackle. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, which means I have to get out there today.
We watched Out of Africa on TCM last night. I saw it when it first arrived in theaters and have seen many clips from it since, but not the entire movie. Don, surprisingly, had never seen it. Oh my heavens, it is so beautiful, so impeccably made. Sydney Pollack was one of my favorite directors. It is sweeping, majestic, old-fashioned in the best possible way, a story beautifully acted and realized. I can’t stop thinking about it today. And John Barry’s score is one of the most beautiful ever written for films.
I confess, whenever I hear it, it makes me cry. Don can’t stop talking about it today. What a glorious movie it is!
The sky was full of clouds like this the other day. I was completely fascinated.
My pretty entrance hall.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
