Still having very warm days ahead with no rain in sight. Humidity is down, though, so that's tolerable, at least. Great weather for house painting (on the home stretch) and I don't mind getting up early to water, which is what's happening around here, this morning. Puppy 'Shasta' has been walked and I am on cup #3 of coffee. :)

The front section, with all of the high, scary work, on the house is finished. Mick just has to do the porch walls and the small west side of the house. He's coming down Monday afternoon for a few days. Yay! Getting closer to finished on my 'Painted Lady.' The porch flooring is being replaced and we're getting metal railings all around and down the steps. Can't wait! It was time for an upgrade after 35 years. Mick is on the scaffolding, Beau is supervising from below. Mick is a professional painter by trade.

I think she needs one of those 'Barn Quilts' between the two large windows on the front, or to break up the huge expanse of nothing on the right side.

Nice color combo on the house. The yellow is similar to our living room/dining room/ kitchen I think it’s called golden honey. Did you ever get you porch ceiling painted that blue? Would love to see a pic. I always wanted to do a barn quilt for our barn. I think a mural would look better on the house since it is green, maybe a tall flowering vine.
