Today, I ....

9/8/15

 Washed and dried 3 loads of clothes because I am behind in EVERYthing.....

I am sooo not a good multi-tasker...


 and....Mr. Sweet couldn't help me wash and dry and fold clothes because he was busy doing....

 spray painting...
 rain was in the forecast for us and it began to thunder and got pretty dark...


 

 and we got everything moved to a safe dry place.



I started cleaning up...this is NOT a pic of the wheelbarrow full of broken brick...
water bottles...all kinds of crap stuff but I got it so full and heavy, I couldn't move it an inch....so much for trying to help.....

and of course, by the time we quit and got everything moved to safety...
the sun broke out and I have NO idea where those rain clouds went.
 Then, because we can't teach the dogs to do TRICKS...
I made a round of the big back yard and took CARE OF IT...
not because I had to...
because I needed to help out.
This is a big place...the big house...the front yard is like a park...
the side yard like 2 parks....
our SUMMER HOUSE (aka Pool House)
and the back yard....
tons of work so we all chip in....

Now, in between all this...
I painted on my little hutch.


It is coming along nicely...
nothing fancy, ya'll....no trying to fill in those luscious curves on the doors
with chalk WHITE...
I am not good at this kind of thing and I have a good thing going here...
and I'm not gonna push my luck...

This is an awesome gray...


but like I keep telling ya...

SOME GRAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.... 

 


************************************************************
Supper time comes around whether you are about to drop dead from pure
tiredness or not...



Taquitas, 
a green salad 
(actually a few lettuce leaves with
RANCH DRESSING..)
Ranchstyle beans



and pulled this delicious CHERRY PECAN CRISP from the freezer
and we were too tired to get up and get the ICE CREAM for it.
Now, THAT is tired  !

AND...
just as soon as we get these pesky projects out of the way...


I can't wait to try this DIY TOBACCO BASKET...
isn't it just awesome...
can't wait to get it finished before winter and put it on my coffee table....
or maybe on top of the LIGHT FRENCH GRAY hutch....

Lucy tells us step by step how to do it...
and I've ALWAYS wanted a large Tobacco Basket... 

The authentic ones are sooo expensive.

  21. Your projects are coming along great. Please don't over do. It looks like me may get some rain here today. Have a blessed day. Madeline

  22. If you could bottle and sell, all your pep, you would be a millionaire. So there.

    Meanwhile, could you just bottle a wee bit of it, and send it over this way? Just a wee dram, will do. I'm sure it would pep me up, tremendously. :-)))))

    Hugggggles,
    Tessa

  23. I am wore out just reading your blog. We got the much needed rain. Wish I had one of your energy pills. Some days, it is hard to get going. You two do not overdo. You want to be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor

  24. The tobacco basket is neat, but I'd not heard it called that before. Don't work so hard! We still need rain, so if you don't need it send it our way. I love the picture of the dog with the tools!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
