Busy Saturday

Summer is winding to an end. School is just around the corner. All of our neighbors seem to be doing some exterior home repair. We had some peeling paint on the front of our house that has been an eye sore for too long. I found some leftover paint in the basement that seemed to be the correct shade and Morgan went to work scraping the offensive areas. She did a great job of fixing the trouble spots. (All those hours of HGtv are paying off!)

I am terribly afraid of heights and could not have brought myself to crawling around up that high. She was very brave...especially considering there seems to be a small colony of wasps right outside the bedroom window that she had to crawl through!

After the painting we were in a window washing mood. Morgan did the outside windows while I did the inside. It was a tricky job to get the upper windows on the South & East side of the house. Morgan used a small ladder, a telescoping squeegie & some acrobatic moves to reach them. All of our windows (and screens), with the exception of the basement windows, are squeaky clean. A couple of those top floor windows hadn't been washed on the outside since we moved in almost 4 years ago!

After our afternoon of hard work we feasted on a kettle full of corn on the cob for supper while sitting on our deck & enjoying the cool evening weather.
