I finished painting the house and garage doors, and staining the front steps and picnic table. Check another thing off the garden project to-do list! It may seem like I am getting things done fast (I just finished the dry stream bed last week), but actually I am procrastinating by getting the little projects done first - the next one is going to be a biggie. The retaining wall must get done in August because I want to plant that area in the fall! Wish me luck...
BTW, what do you think of the door (and window box) colour? I went to the paint store intending to get a nice, conservative plum kind of a colour, and on the spur of the moment went for an orangey-brick colour. It turned out a little lighter than I expected (more of a pinky-brick, I'm afraid) but I think I kind of like it... I definitely wanted colour and that's what I got! And the colour drew my attention to the shadow of the mountain ash tree outlined on the garage door in the evenings (bottom, middle picture above) - I never noticed that before!
It's a beautiful coral colour - I like!
The garage door looks fantastic with the shadows.
