But it sucked. Hard. We are paying someone to do the two short sides we didn't get done. I think. Still negotiating on that one. But I'm bitter in advance about anything we have to give to it. Hmmm. Need to work on the whole gratitude practice thing. :-)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227597091783239454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419950376125528057.post-38072579540055840972013-01-26T18:58:32.405-06:002013-01-26T18:58:32.405-06:00Is it possible to be bitter in advance about a pai...Is it possible to be bitter in advance about a painting project? I am absolutely dreading giving up my entire summer to this chore, but it "must" be done. Gah.

Last year our summer got high-jacked by painting our house. (So much hard, hard work--and we didn't even get done. Only the front and back. I'm bitter. Yes I am.) But we did also do some front yard work, just like you. Tore out some boxy hedges that lined the driveway and put in a garden. We had a clear, sunny day last weekend and went outside and daydreamed a bit. <br /><br />Best of all, we saw the first shoots from some bulbs poking out of the ground! In January! Although I actually do love winter, that made my pulse race just a bit. And I would so love to have an entire day in which my feet didn't feel cold even once.<br /><br />Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227597091783239454noreply@blogger.com
