Munchkin Garden

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

It was still a beautiful day today even though the temps had dropped back down to the 60s. We worked on the garden some more. I moved the seating area that I had put down by the water over by the shed by munchkin’s garden. You can see munchkin’s garden next to the shed in the background. The 2 end tables I picked up today for free. They were originally black and gold. I spray painted them white to match the other pieces. (We still need to finish painting the benches. We want them to be all white.) Here’s munchkin…

Posted in Homemaking

Here’s today’s Tackle It Tuesday progress report… I was able to get a chunk of the kitchen done in about an hour. I didn’t strip this all the way down to the floor. I’m going to see if what D thinks before going any further down. (Please excuse the mess… it’s a work in progress…) Just imagine what I could get done if I set my mind to it. lol! I like to tackle it a little at a time for the sake of my lungs and body.
