Still Doing Home Renovation

I've been enjoying the process, painting and upgrading our home. The walls in the living room took quite a beating from the old recliners banging into the wall. So, after patching and repair I gave the walls several coats of a paint called 'Berber Carpet', and then carefully added texture - little bumps that look like bubbles. As they ascend upward there are fewer and fewer of them.

I added other textures to a small hallway, where I spread swirls of beach sand on the wall, then placed a few shells over a doorway. I'd collected these shells over the years on walks along Puget Sound.

Still, much work is left to be done because I can only do so much in one day. And, many meals have been cooked, quite a few of my favorites, which I haven't taken the time to photograph. I'm also cooking and baking for a devotional meeting and study class that George attends in the evenings. So, life has it's quiet pastimes and pleasures.

On my walk yesterday I noticed that the heaths and heathers here are in bloom, and the crocus are inching upward. Chickweed in the garden is intensely green and fluffy, up seven inches, and I thought 'Salad and Soup'!
