The very dark blue ceiling in our bedroom...
A more realistic view of the ceiling with the natural lighting.
Spent over an hour trying to tape a painting line ~ which then decided not to stick to the walls...
Trying again with blue tape plus the plastic to protect the walls from paint splatter
However, even the blue tape wouldn't stick to some areas of the wall...

The Laundry room is overflowing with paint and supplies!
The kitchen table is home to all the small appliances and what-nots.
With the refrigerator and oven pulled out of their cubbies ~ our small kitchen feels even smaller...
It's like walking through a maze.
A nudge here and a little shove there and we still have a functioning kitchen.
Hot water pot and the coffee grinder are out temporarily to get the day started... I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass
Oh wind, a blowing all day long,
Oh wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all
Oh wind, a blowing all day long!
Oh wind, that sings so loud a song!
O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
The picture of our backyard doesn't really do justice to all the leaves blown everywhere (and covering everything) following our first real fall storm...
