The 80 degree weather has brought out the blooms.
Toby discovered lawn sprinklers this morning.
He figured out how to put his mouth around it to drink. And he didn't run off with it.
A friend of John’s dropped off something at our front door and offered us his power washer when he saw how dirty our entrance was. We don’t get guests usually so we’ve been ignoring the filth.
I did research and learned power washers run $150. Having had one before, I know they’re a lot of trouble and can do more harm than good. They also don’t last long.
So instead of buying one, I bought the house cleaner, a heavy duty spray bottle, a long-handled brush, and some rubber gloves. We already have a hose and a quality sprayer.
I figured I’d probably have to scrub anyway.
I cleaned the tile, the columns, and the bases.
I feared that I would have to paint, but once all the dirt was gone, the paint looks okay.
The doors were especially dirty. Now they look great. I have plenty of supplies left to do the two other front windows. A project for another day.
We got a takeout burrito to split from Juan’s Mexican Grill on Main Street. It’s so large that a half is plenty. Comes with chips and salsa, both made in the restaurant.
It’s kayaking season. Neighbors are flocking to the sound to enjoy the water and good weather.
We’re going to research whether or not dogs are allowed in the rental kayaks. I suspect not, but if they are it would be fun to take Toby out and explore the Caledesi kayak canals with him. I remember taking Dexter out in a kayak at Cedar Key. He couldn't wait to jump in the water from the kayak. I think Toby's inclination might run in the other direction: he probably will prefer to stay on solid ground.

Your entrance looks awesome. But aren’t we at the age when we hire someone to do this.
ReplyDeleteAs Fireball said, your entrance looks awesome!!! Love your finished project. Great job on tile and columns too. I hired someone last year to pressure wash and I think half way through he ran short of product and tried to dilute the other half of the project. I called him and he said he would come back with more product and redo the latter half. Never heard from him. Awwww. What is the name of the product you used? My patio doors are forever needing a touch up in the spring. Your temperature today was awesome. We had another rainy afternoon and drizzle into the night. Cold tooooooo. Beautiful flowing tree.Toby continues to entertain me every night.
