He Didn't Tell Me...

And I Thought We'd Just Pop Off The Old Tile

What Didn't Blow Up In The Air....
Dropped Into Each & Every Open Space
Including The Floor

I Saw This Cereal On A Commercial...
it's pretty tasty...
for the moment -
we're eating a lot of cereal

I had to step outside to find a bit of peace....
you know....
something pink or red that would
make me feel "love is in the air"
instead of the dirt cloud
inside the house


Nothing softens rust like
a bit of soft pink


And then...
I was ready to go back in
and think about cleaning that drawer...

and all the other drawers after that....

You are one brave gal. Looking at that drawer I'm telling myself that I should stop being a ninny about cleaning the corners in my house.
The flowers are beautiful!

Oh my, what a mess. Glad it's you and not me having to clean all that up. Good luck.

Oh, (sigh)..Your pink geraniums remind me of my big window box in the summer, thanks for sharing that cheery sight! - Have a wonderful weekend! xo

I just recently went through all that...I thought my husband was a horribly messy craftsman! Glad to hear I'm not alone! Take care. It will all be worth it someday!

Looks like a big undertaking! I am sure it will be worth it in the end.

You are lucky that Man in Black is handy. Who cares about a little dirt when the end result will be so wonderful!
