Poison Ivy!!!

I am spending most of my time up high on the ladder painting this sign. The rest of my time is spent nursing a horrible case of poison ivy! I discovered that most of the weeds I pulled out of my garden were not a good thing to touch. Ouch...it's miserable!!!

Garden in and sign painting begun!

There was just a mess of weeds and a couple of overgrown bushes in front of the carriage house, but not now! I have spent the last week...weeding, planting, and mulching...oh, and rock digging.

I'm not crazy about getting up on the ladder, but I am determined to get this sign painted!!!

Goose-neck Lamps Installed!

I now have my outside lighting! My son-in-law's dad (Tim) worked hard on installing these for me, even though the heat was unbearable today. Now, I have to get busy and paint my sign!!! :-)

Antique Doors!

Before washing!

                                    Filthy!

Sparkling clean!

                       Is there even glass in there? :-)

I spent a good portion of yesterday cleaning several antique doors and windows. There were many left in the buildings here on my property, plus I brought a few from my last house (left in the attic). I'm going to use these around the inside perimeter of my gallery to display artwork. Some art will be hanging on the wall behind the glass, with spotlights on it. For doors that are solid, I will hang pieces directly on them. I can't wait to see it all come together!!!
