Sights For Sore Winter Eyes

I was sifting through a years worth of pictures last night and looking at the ones taken in the summer months made me feel so good inside. I thought maybe a "Picture Post" might spread some good cheer.

No words, only pictures, I think they speak well for themselves.



I am so dreaming of warmer days, garden soil, and sunshine.

Even Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote of "The Long Winter". I take it she didn't care much for it either!

So, my friends, here's to glorious sights and images to warm your heart and to hurry along spring.

Only 2 more days until spring........

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

I got the Easter parade up on the porch this weekend.


I decided to load up the little wagon with tulips and Easter eggs and I found two adorable bunnies to make the deliveries for me.

Note** Notice anything different about my porch?

Take a look at the top picture and notice the nice-shiny -white lamp light.

I spent all last week power washing the porches, the house, cleaning the windows and painting all my outside lights.

They are 15 years old this year and have began to tarnish and look really bad.

I was looking at a cost of $38.00 each to replace them plus all the electric wiring that would need to be done. We have 8 lights that would need to be replaced. They still work perfectly, they just are starting to look bad.

I decided to redo them myself. It was a tedious job, but it turned out great. I spent about $20.00 for supplies and spent about 2 days doing nothing but lights.
It made a huge difference. It made the house looks brand new again.
The siding is fresh and clean and the lights are sparkling.


I decided to get brave and took the ceiling fan apart in the screened in porch and gave it a face lift also. It looks so much better.
 It has been a huge undertaking on my part to do this, but it has saved us so much money.
I still have the back part of the house to do, but it will go fast because of no porches or porch ceilings.


Hope you all have a good week,

Shanda

This is the beginning of a new day. 

 You have been given this day to use as you will.

You can waste it or use it for good.

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, in its place is something that you have left behind. 

 Let it be something good.
