A few of my not-so-favorite things

[trystinn]

Summer has finally arrived in Western Washington and Whidbey Island is bathed in sunshine. To celebrate this, I took advantage by finishing the painting job on the front porch and getting the first coat of paint on the exterior side of the front door. I'm hoping to get another coat of paint on the front and get the other side painted today, as well. Might even try my hand at painting the backdoor, too!

I bought a sofa cover for the 3-seater, which is apparently somewhat undersized. The cover is about 1/3 too big and settles in soft wrinkles that look very Basset-like. There weren't any smaller three-seater covers so I'm considering doing some very intensive work to make it fit. There's likely some short cuts I can take in the meanwhile to give it a face lift, per se. Much to think about and possibly some Googling to be done.

Had a no show chicken buyer today, which is fine, we'll just sell the gals to someone else. We have more appointments scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

We're going to have to spend tomorrow cleaning the front 1/2 of the house in preparation of Jason's arrival. Dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing - it's exhausting just to think about it.

were you still looking for beds? I keep forgetting to tell you, we do have a futon that is a full I think? and a queen in Stephen's room we rarely use.

Nope, turns out they found another host family. But thank you!
