Well, crap. If there’s a way to add photos to posts in this new, improved WordPress version I’ve so far failed to find it. So just imagine there are pictures here, I suppose. I’ve got things to do. I really did take them and laboriously upload them.
It’s a beautiful summer day – for once. We paid for the mild winter with a long cold wet windy spring. Fair trade, I suppose. But today is one of those days I don’t like tourists to find out about. Not too hot, pleasantly breezy. Perfect laundry day, which is good because mine has been piling up. I’ve been either working off-site or huddling indoors, so I spent a couple of hours this morning paying the piper. Now that less of my preparations are improvised, this has become less of a crappy chore and more a pleasant time in the sun. I did run out of clothesline before I ran out of dirty clothes, though.
Need to get the housekeeping out of the way, because next week things are going to get busy around here. Neighbor D’s coming over to help me get rid of this big pile of siding you guys paid for. Then comes a whole bunch of painting, which is normally my very least favorite thing but which I think I’m going to enjoy this time. At least a little.
Which do you think? Dirt-brown or juniper-green?
And now, if this stupid thing will let me post this, I’ve got bread to bake. Later. I hope.
Brown/green camo.
😉
Green with dirt brown trim….
I’m kind of with Kentucky on this one – dirt brown with some patches of green to simulate juniper bushes. No need to go crazy with it or anything, but enough to break up a few of the straight lines should make the place even less obvious to the casual onlooker than it already is.
🙂 Oh, come on, you know I thought of that.
But I’ve never seen it come out looking anything but cheesy, and mine would be no improvement on the norm. No, I’m thinking a dusty – but solid – green.
Whatever color mice can’t see, so they walk right on by and head for someone else’s place. I’ll google that and let you know. Hope it doesn’t turn out to be purple or bright pink.
Something tells me whatever color you pick will become dusty soon enough…
🙂 Valid point.
I love your white bread mixing bowl. I have several of those that were my Grandmothers. Even with chips and cracks, they last forever.

On the paint, I’ll add a vote for dirt color, since everything, at least around here, ends up dirt color anyway.
Color suggestion? Free-range brown with Guernsey accents. That should entertain your cowboy “neighbors”…

“…with Guernsey accents.” We wouldn’t want to risk some near-sighted bull mistaking the Lair for a sexy cow, would we?
