Some Small Accomplishments

                   Bluebirds have been looking for homes since the chickadees stole all the bluebird boxes, so decided to hang this at the farmhouse using a bluebird hanger that my mom had gotten for me so long ago and I had stored in the potting shed.  
 

                                               White Rose of Sharon are in bloom.

    I've been working on the tedious painting of the kitchen sink cabinet.  It's slow going as it takes several coats, and there are a lot of edges.  Not my favorite way to paint, but it has to be done, and I'm almost finished.  Next I will oil the butcher block top.

    Jake also is going to put an old board kick plate along the bottom, I guess when he comes back to do the back deck and porch.  When that will be is anyone's guess.  It's been two more weeks, and I'm still waiting for the electricians to come back and finish up.

                                  Sweet Williams in bloom.

  This shelf in the kitchen was removed and the metal brackets holding it up.  I've been removing nails, patching holes with wood filler, sanding and washing walls to prep for painting.

     Ugly shelf gone!

       Uncovered a sage green paint behind the water heater that was in this corner.  At one time, I bet that looked pretty in this kitchen.  

   This wild rose has been growing for quite sometime, but is right where the gate to the new parking spot will go, so it was removed.  We bought our gate this weekend, and tomorrow Mike our fencer will be here to put it in and fix some other fencing that the bear keeps crushing.  

    The built-in kitchen cabinet has been scraped, sanded and washed, and I have painted the left-side doors and should finish it up this week.

    They were white, but now dingy, so the new bright white really makes a difference.

And thank you Judy, you always come through naming the plants I have no clue about! This is a Deutzia, and the description even said an old bush found at abandoned farmhouses! I found a baby for you!
