My small kitchen porch takes a real beating in the Winter. The snow seems to sit right where you step up....the rain does the same thing.
SO, this was the day...last Friday morning...to get it painted. I had already picked up a can of blue, and I had the white from the sun porch...
Time to get to work...First I emptied everything off...cleaned the back wall...as it had a lot of spider poop on it...swept 50 times, as everytime I was finished, something else would fall on it...arghhhh...finally I was ready...well almost...I only had small brushes...arghhh again...
Found something suitable, and got to work on the white railings first...
Waited a while...cleaned the screen door and mirror...and then got to work on the floor...
I think you will agree, from the picture below...it looks a 100 times better...
Good job Linda....why thanks...no problem...

Your little stick guy looks like an inch worm. Do you know the name of the succulent with the little yellow blooms? I've got lots of it in pots all over the place, and it just keep growing and growing and growing. BTW, good job on the painting.
ReplyDeleteI was over visiting you, while you were here!! What are the odds!
DeleteIf you check out my Nov 14 post, I have a pic there, and my sister says it is a stick bug...while I was photographing him, I thought he was an inch worm...maybe I should google him!! Back with the info!!
You are absolutely right...there are some photos there of a brown one as well....learn something new everyday...hear that Honor???
DeleteThanks....again...Crafty!
I am so looking forward to living in a place where I might get to see a little critter like this again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog. Candice
I thought that was an Inch Worm also !
ReplyDeleteSeems that it is!!!
DeleteMe too, on the inch worm! But whatever he is, is he just so darn cute! haha. And I love your newly painted porch...so fresh and clean! Wonderful! I also love that you hung a mirror outside...what a cool idea...it just reflects nature...lovely!
ReplyDeleteI was just over at your blog!!!I Have mirrors EVERYWHERE...and I mean EVERYWHERE!!! He is cute...isn't he!
DeleteHi Linda. Boy you sure had a busy day! Your porch looks very nice with a fresh coat of paint. I like the sweet table and the mirror. And little Mr. Stick Bug is so cute. I don't know if I've seen one before. I love that you got different shots of him as he travelled around. Looks like your garden is doing well. Have a good evening. Pamela
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam...same to you..
DeleteWhatever the little green worm is, it is so cute. I am glad you took the time to notice him. There is a song by Anne Murray called Inchworm...
ReplyDeleteInchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmatic, you'll probably go far.
Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are.
Don't remember that one...glad you enjoyed the inchworm...he is a cutie!!
ReplyDeleteLove the porch! Have never seen an inch worm...uugh.... Flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe porch looks really nice. A lovely colour of blue for the floor! That inchworm is adorable! Can't you just hear him talking to himself as he makes his way up the post?
ReplyDeleteI did!!! I can't figure out how he got up there in the first place!!!
DeleteMaybe he blew in with the wind!!
Love the little inch worm. Cute as a button. The porch looks lovely!! Love the blue paint.
