happy spring world!

these next few days will bring lots of rain

which i'm wishing will aid in the green department.

it is rather beautiful nonetheless.

meet TUCKER

or as the Leprechaun likes to call him...

TACO.

he has stolen my heart.

his marvelous caramel amber eyes look at me through the back window and i can't help but give him a snuggle. he is naughty though. he wants to escape. even with this big yard he yearns to be free. maybe if i give him enough cheerios he'll be tempted to stay.

this week's project includes de-wallpapering.

it takes much longer than i anticipated.

prep area

moisten paper

let sit

pull off paper

moisten second paper

let sit

pull of paper

clean wall

continue again and again

clean up your mess

sit on the couch and wonder over the three yards space you just completed...then feel discouraged by the other ten walls that need to be done...make yourself feel better by going into the kitchen to get a handful of swedish fish. ahhh, that's better.

you know you're country when your children

play freely in the backyard in their skivvies.

nice.
