a good day...

a swallowtail catapillar...
isn't it pretty?
in the radish and carrot greens...

so we began this morning taping off and painting...
that is until Myra decided to move the babies...
Craig noticed only 3 babies on his way out the door...
so we had to do a search and rescue, so we got a later start...
but this was my job...

and the railing...
the guys took to the ladder and the high places...

the deck and steps will be stained later on...

along with the rafters...
its going to look so good when we get it finished...

Myra hid the baby under Craig's bed...
and that's not a good thing...
you would think the place would have scared her off...
we turned the heating pad off and I think they were getting too warm...
so she wanted them out of there...
things are good now...

we painted until noon, did lunch and then started in on our bedroom and master bath...
that took a bit...
curtains washed, but not the walls...
that will come later...
and want to knock the bed down and clean under, behind and all of that...
but that can be done in the winter...

heading back out to the deck in the morning to work again until it gets too hot...
I would like to get this knocked out this weekend...
but things don't always go as planned...
;)
heading out for a walk now...
saw a major shooting star last night, so maybe I will see one again...

got a full weekend in store...

I hope...

if I can move...

and I can get the guys motivated...

got some pickins from here yesterday morning...

not much, but that's the last of the fresh green beans...
enough to fill a quart bag...
hope they have some in the produce section of the store...

the rose of sharon is coming to its end soon...
the summer days are quickly ticking away...

we have some pretty warm weather happening now...
and will continue through at least the next ten days...

no rain = no mowing this weekend...
all the green beans are pulled and cleared away...
worked on the front bed last night...
raking leaves and cutting back...
the yard is a mixture of summer and fall...
so we are painting, picking up and grilling out today for sure...
laundry and vacuuming...
playing a teeny tiny bit with the babies...
a week old today...
so hope your weekend is good for you...
and that you get all that you want done and still have time for a nap!
;)
