Front Porch

Hello

 Dear Blogging Sisters

Here is a short progress report,

with before and "almost" after photos of the front porch :

 If you look close you will see blue painter's tape up by the ceiling

and you will see that along the top edge I still have painting to do.

I stopped because my ladder dipped on me,

I didn't fall, thank the Lord,

but my paint did.

Lucky enough none hit the house,

but most of the half full can went 

all over me.

 What a mess!!! 

This is the before . . .

you can see that the stairs are actually on the side.

That is another place that I need to get painted.

Steve has a ladder that will shorten one set of legs to go up stairs,

but now he won't let me paint it unless he is there to steady the ladder.

I just realized that I have room for a rocking chair . . .

I didn't think that one would fit.

Great, that's one more thing that I can keep 

and not put in my "Yard Sale".

These are my painted drop cloth slip covers.

I made them reversible with the blue stripe fabric that is on the other glider.

Notice the screen door, it is the same door.

I took it apart, sanded in down,

added new screen and some fancy trim.

Then I painted it white.

 Yesterday Steve rototilled the garden for me :)

And look, we have baby grapes on our vines,

I am so excited!

Well, I'm off to the dentist for a new crown .

I guess every queen desires a crown, 

but I would like to skip this coronation, 

if it were only possible, LOL.

Have a great day,

and

 keep smiling :)

Your blogging sister, Connie :)
