But it really was warm enough on Sunday for the shorts and bare feet. I'm back in jeans a hoodie today.<BR/><BR/>All the greens and reds are done, so I'm waiting for another warm day to prime the sanded spots on the balustrades so I can paint them. Maybe tomorrow.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-82272199404018251652009-03-10T17:37:00.000-04:002009-03-10T17:37:00.000-04:00I'm a day late but busy with a project too.

And don't you look all cute and spiffy sitting with your work cut out for you! I say that kindly and respectfully!<BR/><BR/>Again, I love the porch and again, out comes my wish list of I would love.<BR/><BR/>And yes, painting does remind us of those muscles that seem to appear when it comes time for painting. My last paint work was at the cottage when I decided I wanted to redo it Southwestern - please don't ask. Wonderful colors went into the living room and the fireplace became sandstone - except it was a cottage that was over 100 years ago.
