On this dark, dreary, and rainy day, I thought I’d share this little corner with you. We recently bought an inexpensive up light from Lowe’s. Remember Christopher Lowell, the decorator that had a show on HGTV? Back in the days when every show wasn’t like every other show? He loved up lights. This corner can be dark and we have a beautiful plant there as well as our vintage advertising from Paris and a Maxfield Parrish hanging on the walls. Don had been complaining that he’d like to see the artwork more clearly, so…up light. It makes a wonderful difference in that corner.
Yesterday was all about Don buying some 1 x 4s from Lowes, me measuring our big tarp and cutting it to fit the rear section of the shed roof, then Don up on the roof with me passing tools to him, getting the tarp in place and then nailing down the wood that will secure the tarp. I spent a lot of time inside the shed, tapping on the support beams so Don knew where to nail. It took several hours, but it’s done. Boy, were we tired afterwards! Today, we’re supposed to get an inch of rain, so we’ll see if the caulk and the tarp are working. Cross your fingers for us!
We’ll stay indoors today and start making calls about dental insurance for me and Don’s coverage for his eye. We have a week until our decisions need to be firmed up so I’m taking it slow and trying not to stress about it all.
And the Christmas tree will be purchased tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on the weather. I cannot wait to decorate this year! Oh boy, do we need it!
Select Blinds had a 50% off sale yesterday, so I ordered two more mini blinds, this time, for the bedroom windows. That should do it for a while, though the bathroom will need one eventually. In looking back through my planner for this year, I saw that I had it on my list of things that needed to be done this year. Hey, I actually accomplished a goal! (Actually, several items on the list have been ticked off.)
The dollhouse may have to be ignored for a few days as I sort out insurance and we decorate for Christmas, as well as organize the interior of the shed and put things away for the winter. But I hope to be back at it next week.
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
