  Spring is a Busy time at Maisonvogue

Happiness is ....Pulling back the blinds in the Kitchen Nook and seeing this on the back deck (sorry about the reflection of the Nook bar table leg)

Toby , the cat, quickly ran outside and flopped in the shade on the already 77 ºf/25 ºc heat ...it was so bright this morning it bought joy to my heart ...how I love beautiful flowers and sunshine 

It's been a very busy Spring time at Maisonvogue ....I have been pressure washing all of the concrete driveway ..it took 3 long days ....then I have pressure washed the whole of the house that took about 3 days too ...

Our homes in America are usually brick or have a plastic siding that is in slats that cover the entire house and you NEVER have to paint your house just about every 2 years it needs a pressure wash especially on the North facing wall...once done it looks brand new .. ours has plastic siding ..great invention 

Then yesterday was the worst ...I did not enjoy my day at all ..it was 100% humidity and the sun blazing down and I had to stand on the concrete drive all day whilst painting the retaining wall for the front garden white ..I am so pleased that because we do it every year it took only one coat of paint 

It looks fabulous now 

I am a very messy painter ...I load my brush up too much and get it absolutely everywhere ...so cleaning up is hard work ....I had paint in my hair even though I had a hat on ....all of my painting clothes now look like tie dye ...ha! ha! ....and I had to soak and scrub my Crock garden shoes to change them from white to their original navy blue ...he! he!

I even had to soak the garden hose nozzle as that was full of paint from my messy hands 

Do you get in a mess like that ???

My Mum did so it has come to me honestly ...he! he!

Thanks for popping by 

Now that I have just a few more things to do in the garden over the next few weeks 

I am hoping to regain my life back and hopefully do some interesting things 

That I will share with you 

Happy Days to you all 

Janet
