Since I lost my job in March, I have been compelled to work in our yard, beginning with digging out the blackberry bulbs that I missed last summer. It seemed like a positive way to deal with the mixed emotions I was feeling. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know I need to move forward, starting with completing several projects around the house. If I trust my head, I don’t know much of anything, but in my gut, it felt like an opportune time to get my house in order. More
So we are not the best at picking paint colors, as evidenced by how many samples we have purchased over the past two years for various projects (at one time, I counted 79, and we have bought more since).

To avoid disappointment, my husband built a model of our house using foam core from the dollar store and painted the sides various shades of green.
