Done!

 The house painters were back yesterday to work on the trim, and finished up today. The painting is done!

It's the same color as it was before, so if you didn't know you couldn't tell from a distance, but it sure looks better up close.

Tom is in a hurry to get everything back where it belongs. The plants are all back on the front porch and entry steps. 

The painters carefully tilted the tomato trellis out from the wall to paint. They survived. 

The potting bench is out of the shed and back in place. I suspect if I go check I'll find that he has already put a lot of stuff back that was hanging on the wall. 

Patio furniture is back in place. We have some cleaning up to do.

We are very satisfied with the painting job and will give recommendations. And we are very glad that it's DONE!

While Tom was moving stuff, I spent some time edging the lawn and crawling along to clean the edges up. Today is the one year anniversary of my second spinal fusion surgery. That surgery fixed the nerve pain and nerve compression, but with two fusions, my back will never be the same. I am resigning myself to much less mobility. I will always walk a little bent over now, I think.  But I can still crawl around in the garden.

We have some guests coming several days next week, so it's time to get everything all spiffy. I can't fix the scorched lawn, but everything else will get the once over.

The weather has been and continues to be wonderful! Happy summer!
