About 1/4th of house painted— that portion of it at the front, and along the side to the front door; sort of a yellow orangish color, to match the bricks. Neigbors agree, color good match for bricks. Excellent contrast with garage door, sort of a pale green, about the color of surgical greens. Blondie pointed out that it looks quite terribly 70ies. (Deep sigh… she has a point, but I think it looks more like a pastel Easter egg. )

Needs a bit of touching up, as some of it was painted in a hurry. It was supposed to rain today, so we worked on the bits that were under an overhang, and prayed that whatever rain came down would not be blowing slantways.

Installed new porch light. Installed wires along garage wall to tie the climbing roses to; looks very nice, very Italianate, with rambler foliage and deep red roses against the painted wall. Scoured drips of paint off sidewalk and entry-way bricks. Gathered up trash, sealed paint pans and rollers in plastic bags, returned borrowed drill to Judy. Worked on excuse as to why I have not yet bought one of my own.

Completly exhausted; blogging will be light.

G’night.
