 |
| It's amazing what 72 degrees, a soft, warm breeze, a few open flowers can do to get you moving. Off to the farmhouse I went early this morning and started to get some things in order. |
 |
| I rearranged some furniture, hung some paintings, put down some hooked rugs, vacuumed, took a lot of things up to the main house. |
 |
| The living room now has two seating areas, all neat and tidy. |
 |
| Hellebores that a friend gave me years ago that I moved with me from Georgia are starting to bloom. |
 |
| This corner of the living room with the shelves shows how crooked the floors are in the house and is dirty and unsightly. I had the old painted door propped up in front of it, but it didn't cover the whole thing, so I decided to use a curtain I bought from IKEA, which would cover it from ceiling to floor. I loved the pattern on these curtains, but had no place to use them, so this was perfect. |
 |
| The mahonias are budding with fruit for the birds. |
 |
| Hung the theorems I painted many decades ago when I had free time! |
 |
| Blooming mock orange. I have found three very old bushes. |
 |
| On the opposite side of the living room was the only space I could find for my primitive painted milk cupboard, which I was not ready to let go of. It will come in handy for magazines and extra blankets for guests. |
 |
| An antique chandelier, which will go in the living room where there is now only a lightbulb. Contractor coming this weekend to see about fixing the water main to the house, then the cleaning and painting can begin. |
