spring has sprung — or maybe not

Mar 24, 2018

I either like it HOT and sunny or I like SNOW — not a fan of much in between… including spring. But seriously, enough is enough already.  Nearing the end of March, it’s not supposed to look like this in Indiana.

Winter in spring for some reason makes me feel antsy (for lack of a better descriptor), and the last snow moved me to be stupid too.  Although I had back surgery and am grateful to be relatively normal, there are just some things I can’t do anymore without paying the price. Like painting ceilings.  I did it anyway, and the only reason I didn’t pick up a paint roller after looking outside this morning is because I’m still recovering from the last snow in spring and paint project.

Even Dharma doesn’t want to go out to play in this stuff.

The other reason I’m in the mood for fresh paint and more is because my favorite son is doing amazing things in his new house. Old houses (his built in 1904) have so much potential!  Every room of carpet ripped out reveals beautiful hardwood flooring. I’m inspired by the transformation and proud of his hard work!

I’m also a bit jealous. I don’t have those original hardwood floors or built-ins with amazing wood trim — and in this house, I’ll never enjoy those things. So I paint and rearrange and wonder if I’ll always live here. Stay tuned… I’ll share photos of his project… along with my orange bathroom that destroyed my back… soon.

Happy spring, y’all!
