Yardwork Can Be Fun.....

I lied. It's not that fun, but it has to be done. It was such a nice day that I just wanted to be outside for a while. I still have a lot of cutting and raking to do, but it will have to wait for another day. I spent a couple of hours out there....That was more than enough.

When I got back inside, I found that Tessie had taken paintbrush in hand and finished another section of the siding on the back of the cottage. She did a pretty good job, considering that she used a #00 brush.....It took her a while.

I went and found some egg cartons and did some more brick for the foundation. That's another one of those things that just has to be done.....Boring.... Two sides down and two to go.

We are making progress on the rug. We have been arguing over the size. I finally convinced Tessie that a square rug would be enough. If I did the oblong one, it would cover most of the main floor of the cottage. I doubt that most people living in a small country cottage would have a large area rug.

For once, she gave in and let me have my way. A square it will be. I have the center laid out and will finish the dark green borders next. After that it will be the proverbial piece of cake. not so much counting. It will be more like paint by number. Fill in the spaces. I am still not looking forward to the outer blue and beige border, but it also has to be done....There is a lot of that kind of thing going around today.

I wonder if I could pay Tessie to do that part? Probably not.... Back to work.

See you tomorrow.
