Did a bit more work finishing up the display boxes. Filled the nail holes and did the caulking and some of the priming. The weather has not cooperated this week though with an April snowstorm. My display for spring includes birds, nests and other bird related items that I have made. These displays are fun to do and have attracted some attention. I think the UPS driver is intrigued when he delivers the packages. I finally was able to unpack and display my collection of vintage state plates. This large wall in the foyer is perfect for them.

A peek at my windows at night where they show up much better. I am ready for the upcoming patriotic holidays. This was taken before the floor was stained. The only thing needed now are the stone steps which should be done next month. Now on to the other two porches. Much bigger projects!
