Three Months

Can you see any difference in the back pasture?

February 2015

This is just one small difference there has been. I've painted the kitchen 'Burning Bush' red

 

and the dining room wall 'Silver Charm'. They go together and I LOVE them both. We used the red in the master bedroom also one the wall with the window but I'm thinking I should do both the side walls too and the silver would look sharp on the headboard wall, facing the window. Lan likes just the one wall but I might have to surprise him one day.

 

The horses still aren't back home but we might have found another gelding that would go out to pasture with Joey and once that happens the boys can be here. I just want help getting the barn ready. I could ask Delicia but her time is valuable to her and I really have no other horsey friends to ask. Amy is busy at the farm up the road and she's got Dallas to play with. I miss Sarah and her friendship terribly but once she gets mad at you then you are scourge of the Earth.

 

(Sarah, if you read this, I hope you got help with your depression issues, I hope you went to some meetings for Suicide Survivors and I'd still be friends with you in a heart beat.)

 

I'm slowly getting things put away and once in a while I'm moving stuff to new places. It takes a long time to figure out where things fit in a new home. I'd like some shelving in the upstairs orange room so I could use it for more storage. Right now its neat enough but with only so much floor space its getting full. We want to put a lot of our camping stuff up there to keep it dry and vermin free.

 

Did I tell you about the barn board I brought over from the old farm? Its so entirely perfect for the down stairs bathroom.

This is what I have, out of my old foaling stall

This is where I got the idea

This is our down stairs bathroom now

I can hang the shower curtain behind it like this

 

 I had Lan cut a couple inches off the board and its now a perfect fit to go on the wall in front of the shower door. It doesn't need a shower curtain but I have one I want to put in there anyway, one that I've had for 20 years. Still love it.

 

I'm going to paint one of our walls turquoise and put tin along the bottom, like this. I need to figure out something to do with the floor. Ugh.
