Among Friends

[Bird mama]

Here's Betty's explanation about the photos.  I brought it over from the Bird's Nest

Since Merles death, I have received the little red cardinal that my great geanddaughter made and stuck on my clock. Then my grandson gave me the candle.  My granddaughter did  the cross stitch for me. Then my sis sent me a check and said get something for the yard for merle so. Found the gazing ball.

I'm not complaining - it's been chilly around here since yesterday.  Felt like fall and I gotta tell you, it felt good getting chill bumps every time I went out in the yard or took out the garbage.

The rain and humidity officially moved out overnight so I taped off the back door and sidelights that will probably get painted tomorrow.  I also caulked around the new trim on the new garage doors.

I bought expensive Behr premium white exterior paint last September and it got so cold I never opened it.  I saved the receipt from home depot and I am going to take the quart of paint over there tomorrow and have them put it in that paint shaker thing. 

I figured I'd work on prep today, have the paint shaken up tomorrow then come home, grab one of the new brushes I bought last fall and get the paint done all at once.

I gotta say, I grew up using run of the mill masking tape.  Of course, they had to create an industry for it and 3M started making that blue painters tape.  I have a roll of that but also bought a big roll of wide 3M basic painter tape (looks tan like old school masking tape).  Man, getting that tape off of the roll in one straight piece had me saying a few bad words this morning.  I guess you get what you pay for and I'll go back to the more expensive blue tape.

I painted the trim on both garage doors and the family room door/sidelights.  Looks good if I say so myself.  I'll touch up any places needing it tomorrow.
