Cheap project

Ez and i have been working hard on the front porch. I wish so badly i had a before and after pic for you.

Before: planter with dead flowers welcomed you. The wood on top was bending up (previous owners failed to paint). It was a dark blue that became more of a dark hole.

Now:  new top boards will soon be painted and go up.  a fresh, lighter coat of paint is more welcoming.  old chair from goodwill:  $5, can of spray paint:  $6.  alll in all a cheap but effective project.  in the summer i'm planning on having a hanging plant.  i'm going to wait till may to get it.  i was once shopping in a garden center and a lady (my grandma's age) said, "i never get flowers till mother's day.  you just don't know what its going to do around here." 

i think she might be right.  i'll have to impatiently wait.

on a side note:  william has no claws and i have always wondered if the mice he brought in were already dead.  today i came home to a little surprise.  somehow he kills them.  today's victim was so fresh that i had mouse blood drug across my floor.

thanks a lot, william
