Sunshine

So, since we've been painting our house we had to tape off and cover all the windows. Painting is a big project, but Shane's dad has a paint sprayer, which is wonderful, and makes it so your paint time is definitely reduced.

Taping off the windows and doorknobs took forever, but the quickness in painting definitely made it worth it. So, one day we put primer on. Then it rained for a week. Then the next Saturday we put the main color on, and painted some of the trim, shutters, and windowboxes, and then it rained and rained, which was fine because we didn't really have time to paint the second main color anyway...

Still, it meant that our windows were still covered. Apparently having no access to outside sunshine and viewing definitely took a toll on me! I need my sunshine! I need to be able to see outside! So, yeah, this week has been interesting on an emotional level too.

Last night, we finished the trim in the carport, and Shane took off all of the newspaper covering those windows. This morning rolled around and I can see! It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to see outside and all the beautiful sunshine! It does my heart good.
