We are working on re-doing our front porch. We had plans of putting on an entirely new roof. So, today 3/4 of the porch was emptied and the floor scrubbed down. The rest will go tonight when its cooler or in the morning. Upon closer inspection, we will be patching up the spots that need it most and having a new roof put on next spring. As with many of the things in the old farmhouse, things wer done backwards....maybe they didn't have the knowledge or maybe they ran out of cash and did what they could to make do. Either way, we have been making corrections for years and that porch is next on the list. One day, when we win the lottery (should really buy a ticket first), a window will be added to a part of the house that is darker than we would like. We've also been talking about moving the nursery so there is more play space for the baby. We'll see. For this week, it's all about the porch!!!!

Also, the yard sale was a huge hit and most of my things were sold. Anything that wasn't will be put out at another yard sale next month and the leftovers will go to Santa's Closet....a local consignment shop that often just gives things to families in need. I support that 100%.

Dishes did get done, table is pick up, one load of laundry done that I will soon hang on the inside rack as it looks like a thunderstorm may be coming.
