Enjoying the Weather

I have just been enjoying the weather. The humidity is a bit more than we normally have, but that doesn't slow me down.

Jeff came home with big machinery to work on painting the highest peaks of our old farmhouse style home. I got my first lesson on how to get him up and back down so he could do the powerwashing.


Then it was my turn to be the one going up and do the painting. I had my cell phone with me and snapped a couple of pics. Wish I had thought to take my camera up with me, though.
It was interesting to see things from a new perspective. It's just a small part of the yard, and probably the part that I will be working on this summer the most. I have started cutting some glass to make stepping stones, but I really need to set up a cutting table outside. I just can't convince myself to be inside when the sun is shining.



Did I show you this pendant? I love the softness of it. And such a pretty color for the green. I must remember to order more of this color since I only had one rod that came in a sample pack.


The County Fair starts this week. I am going to take a day and wander through all the women's exhibits this year. You just never know where you might find inspiration for a new bead....I might even indulge myself and have a caramel apple.

  4. So THAT'S what we need to paint the woodwork!! That must have been fun Deronda and yes, neat to see things from a different angle.
    That green is quite lovely - the pendant looks antique.
