Wes’ Old House Part 3
As promised the last look at what is so far !
The main porch with the front door into the living room.
Painted vines and flowers around the front door area are in the plans also.
The side porch into the office/library.
Ten colors used to brighten the “lady’s face” were: Lavender, royal purple, moon shadow yellow, sage, ice mint green, wedgewood blue, sky blue, deep pink, gold, and emerald green .
There is work to be completed on the rear porch yet but the “Painted Lady” has come a long way in the past two + years. She is truely a tribute to a man’s talent and work.

Yardwork
It started on Friday--A trip to Home Depot for some fertilizer to plant my new rhubarb plant that we found at a farm market in Lapeer. Every year at strawberry time I go looking for rhubarb to go into a couple of the batches of jam. I now know that the rhubarb come in a month ahead of the strawberries and is pretty well gone by June. But I digress!!!
At home depot we found these stepping stones in a wood slab pattern and bought one to set out for size. Hopefully it would add some appeal to the path to the back deck.
Instead of this which we now have.
We figure we only need 11 more to fininsh the path! But it will improve the look immensely.
SEB came up with family Saturday evening for Father’s Day. Sunday morning Jay, Courtney and I trimmed the ungrowth from the trees out back and started hauling wood chips to put around the base of the trees. This job is not quite completed but we will be at it again on Friday. The camera was sitting on the dining room table so I missed a Kodak moment with Jay filling the trailer with wood chips and Courtney at the wheel of the John Deere!
Sunday afternoon after the visitors left Jay and I started trimming low branches and undergrowth in the front yard.
We have a little more trimming to be done out front and wood chips to be put around these trees. But all in all we did pretty good for “old folks”!!!!
