House maintenance that is.
I’ve been painting up a storm lately. Well I’ve been painting up after a storm.
It rained and poured for forty days see days see
It rained and poured for forty days see days see
It rained!
And poured!
And stormed like crazy, baby
And it created a hole in my roof
So we ended up with a new ceiling in the garage, which we needed as it was. So that was okay.
I am awfully tired of white paint. It took many many coats of paints, I have blisters.
My husband being a smart man was away on business. I did have some help though.
Until next time…when Dummy attempts to cross the backyard on an elephant…
Will this brave adventurer survive? Or will he be eaten by wild baby turkeys…
Or mauled by emerging cicadas..
(the ones with Elizabeth Taylor eyes are especially dangerous)
Or outwitted by Fox snakes pretending to be rattlers, those naughty naughty boys…
Stayed tuned for further developments…

Love it, great photos and fun stories.
Thank you. You always make my day with your lovely comments. 🙂
A++++ on that cicada coming out of its shell! Laughing, thank you! I must go down to the basement and rescue my dummy from the cupboard. You have made me feel guilty.
Thanks 🙂 I’ve had Dummy for about 25 years now!
I love your work it’s stunning…Simply stunning.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it!
Love Dummy … what a great fun. 🙂
I’m glad you had help painting. I just can’t get over the dummy. You dressed it up to look cute even. Cracks me up every time I come over to see it.
🙂 Thanks. I had a good time amusing myself doing that.
Wow, the cicada photo looks like it deserves its own ghost story.
That poor bug, I sat outside with it for about an hour and a half (in my pajamas to boot) to get that shot. It had a heck of time trying to get out of it’s shell!
I love the first pic. The juxtaposition of the wooden figure has such movement. Great shots.
Thanks!
Dummy kills me. Perhaps I should get one of my own. That cicada was too much! I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen one, only heard them.
Thanks Carol! He’s a treat.
