What I'm Doing Today

I'm on Spring Break for today....I'm going to get outside and clean up the front porch and bring up the cushions. I don't care that snow is predicted for next week. We will enjoy the porch while it's in the 60's. I finished my window project last night and Joe is going to hang it. I'll be back later today, because I'll need to rest. I hope some of you people who have had to hibernate all winter...like big old fuzzy bears....can get out in the nice weather today.
See ya later,
Balisha
I'm back with some pictures of what I did today. I got the porch ready for the summer this morning. This is my favorite time of the year. It's warm enough to work outside, things are just beginning to pop....and while that's happening we can get things done like washing windows, cleaning clay pots, trimming, some pruning, and cleaning up the porch furniture and the porch itself. We can't do much in the garden...so these things get us outside enjoying the beginning of the weather that we have waited for so long. Here are some pictures of today...

 Here are the swingers. They have hung here on our porch for a long time. Once in a while, a bird will dart in and out between them. Especially when we have a bird nest on the porch.

 Our porch is very narrow. It is just big enough for us to sit and for a couple of neighbor friends who stop by for a visit. I usually sit on the Adirondack chair and Joe sits on the bench.

 The window that I have been working on...is hanging there now. I painted it barn red and backed it with an old quilt that was falling apart. I finished it yesterday and it's on the porch wall today.

 Finally, here is Miss Goosey Lucy. She is all dressed up in her rain coat. She is next to a pot of artificial flowers. Pretty soon some real flowers will be there. I am painting a stool and that will be behind her with a big plant on it.

So, there you have it. My morning in the sun. Now, I'm going out to plant some succulents in the strawberry jar.
