The Sun is Shining!

Finally the sun is out again. Today is supposed to be in the 70's--Hallelujah! I sat on the back porch in the sunshine and had a cup of coffee this morning. Blue sky, birds singing, the willows swaying in the breeze. Life is good.

I like to paint. Jimmy doesn't. Therefore he doesn't like me to paint. Today's project is to paint the front porch railings. Yesterday I sanded and primed the wrought iron so the prep work is behind me. It's amazing how much activity you see in your neighborhood when you are innocently working on a home project. The point of view from the front porch is perfect for this. It reminds me of my childhood. Seeing neighbors come and go, the mailman, the UPS man, the school bus. Routine is a good thing. As much as I love to go, I love being home even more.
