The great spring clean. Days 1 & 2


Porch 1 cleaned off. Table taken out, washed down and returned. Most of the shelf organized and wiped down. 

The deck is next. But what a view!!

My view today as I rested and recouped from all that work!! Love my hammock chairs. 

Day 2

I went to a few estate sales and Liz LOVES pictures of Victorian children and her boyfriend does not. He says they are going to haunt them. Hahahah. So we sent him THESE pictures. Things of concern on those beds!!





It is cicada time here as well. So for your viewing pleasure cicada under glass. 

There was one on a step that I joked to Liz it may fly up her pants - hahaha. It did not :) 

Back to The house where Butch  had already started on the rest of the porch. He had pulled the rugs and pressure washed them and hung them on the fence to dry. So I parked and came out to assist. 

The OG porch all washed off and ready to be redressed. 

Butch out there pressure washing the yucky deck. 
I got busy and tore down the umbrella that was beside the pool as it was rotted and the renters apparently had a dog (or feral child) who chewed on all the knobs at knee high. Fun times. I pulled all the weights, drained them then used my trusty wagon to tump it over onto and dragged it to the street. Ingenuity at its best when you can’t lift more the 30#. Yay me. I got it done. 


Then I started pulling all the chairs back in place. 

THEN I rested and enjoyed the porch for a minute under the fans. 

Back at it!!



I put together the seating area out by the Grill pergola - not that we HAVE a grill. Note to self need to buy one of those. We have the green egg but we need a gas grill for quick grilling. 

And with that the pool is “open”. Come on out!!
