I got the last of the tall shutters painted today. Only four shorter ones to go! (Three layers of paint, each, with one set of saw-horse to dry them on, or I'd do them a lot faster!)

I also got out the art paper I'd bought last Sept., measured and cut it to fit the glass panes in the bottom halves of our bedroom windows and glued it on. It helps to cut down the bright light in the mornings and also adds more privacy. It doesn't really matter except on the north side. That window looks across our yard to the neighbour's driveway and the pampas grass we planted outside that window last year has not grown tall enough to provide privacy. It's heavy, hand-made paper with flocks of leaves, ferns and real flowers in it. And the colours I picked out really compliment our inside decor. Felt good to finally do that!

Rog tackled some more of the old dead weeds in the backyard, raking some of them up and he got the irrigation water hose dragged around back and watered his grape vines and the willow tree. All of those things have been needing to be done for ages.

We also took the car to car wash and MUCKED it out. There was all kinds of trash, dog hair, kid toys and giveaway stuff in there, as well as three lawn chairs! Felt really good to get that done, too.

Now, maybe we'll do some inside stuff. My sister is coming tomorrow, though. Tues. and Wed. will be spent at her storage space helping her go through everything to decide what she wants to keep and move to Alaska and what goes. Should be quite interesting as she is a powerhouse when she gets going on a project and has a timeline.
