Time Out from Life to Blog.

These are painting projects. I am going crazy. We are going to have company all month. The family is having a BIG family reunion. Most of my Hunny's kids are coming. We will have 5 adults and 2 kids plus us, over here for a week. Then one day off and 2 cousins that we love, will be here for 3 days. There goes the month!

My bathroom was a disgrace. I showed my cute little Brazilian friend, she had a fit. She came over and started taping and slapping paint on the walls. My kind of little buddy!

Like the color? I love love love the color. You do not get to see the nasty before pictures. The walls were a light lavender, but where we had cleaned the paint turned blue and it was streaked and a MESS. Yuk.

There are lot of nooks and crannies in the bathroom. I had to use some mud and fix some corners; work work work!

This is still waiting, it's just primed.

We have also been cleaning up the yard. Lots of cleaning, hedge trimming and weeding. I STILL haven't replanted my irises and fixed up the bulbs.

Tidy.

Where the garden was and is no longer. I am waging war on fire ants, piss ants and chiggers!

A few little pretties remain, just a touch of fall color for you.

The mums, are going to explode, there are millions of buds.

I am working my keister off!! Is that a word keister? I have no idea how much blogging I am going to do this month. Much as I love ya, there is just to stinkin much work to do and I am running out of time. the big crew gets here Thursday. I will of course take hundreds of pictures of the grandchildren. This will be the first time we see that little boy he's 3 months old already.
Yeah, we are excited. I have borrowed a baby swing a port a crib and a bouncy seat, and we are cleaning up the piles that live on every table. Holy cow!! Like I said the keister...

I need to shut up and paint!

My bathroom used to be the color that you just painted yours.
I have been spackling and painting too. My bathroom. It is now an ocean mist color. And white. I still have the floor to finish, with new lenoleum. I can't wait till it's done.

That bathroom is looking nice. That's a pretty color. I need to do something. You're lighting a fire here. Everything has been just sitting too long. So much to do. You have inspired me. I think.
Is there really such a thing as a "piss ant". I thought that was something you said to someone you didn't like. It's a real ant?

Sounds like a busy but productive month for you!

You inspire me! Love the color of the bathroom! My goodness, I feel like a lazy lump. How do you do all this stuff with a bum hip and broken feet?

Y'all should adopt me. Then I could come too.
