On the Line

I am passionate about clotheslines.  I love everything about them and am a dedicated hanger outer through all seasons.  I can't get enough of that fresh off the clothesline smell.  So being without my clothesline for two whole years has been painful.  Not life or death but I really missed it!  It is where I breath deep and settle my mind and count my blessings. 

I have had some nice clotheslines in my other homes but this one is going to be my favorite I think.  The same guys who did the fence made this for us and it is a beauty!  Sturdy and classy and stunning to look at.  I will eventually stain it a color when the wood has weathered enough but right now I am basking in its beauty!  Life is good.



Going to have to tighten up those lines once the posts settle in a bit.  I have placed this clothesline steps away from our back porch so I can have access even through the snow.

Great Wall Update

Image
 The wall is progressing in between rain storms.  This has been the rainiest July I can remember.  It has been great for growing the grass and mostly all the bare patches left over from construction are grown in.  I can't say it is necessarily grass but it IS green! The wall that will enclose part of the courtyard is growing.  I am hoping he can finish soon so I can get the courtyard all finished up and arranged.  It is looking really good and he built in some niches so I can feature objects or cool looking stones.  I do love my stones! And you can see the hydrangeas are blooming and this is just the first year.  I just love hydrangeas.  They are easy and hardy and bloom for a long time. And finally I couldn't resist these photos of my boys enjoying their new yard.  They are waiting for their nightly fox sighting.

Welcome

 I am still working on the front entry.  The painting is all done.  I finished staining the decking yesterday with semi-transparent Behr stain in Stonehenge.  It took two coats.  It was a great improvement over the pressure treated raw wood.   This was after one coat Two coats and I was finally able to put out the welcome mat I purchased almost one year ago! 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!

Stair Safety

Image
 I am not much for carpet, especially with two dogs.  But our wood stairs have proven to be quite slippery and we have had a few falls, and some close calls.  So I decided a carpet runner would be a good addition.  This is commercial carpet and in a neutral dirt hiding color so I am hoping it doesn't look too commercial.  I really wanted a striped runner but the stripes all come in tiles and not broadloom.    It makes the stairs quieter and much more safe for people and pets alike.  Monadnock Flooring did a great job of installing it.   Close-up and you can see that there are little flecks of color in the gray.
