Even though hurricane (the rainy season) is officially over, we’re getting pretty good showers every day.

Not great painting weather. But……the hills are nice and green. And the painting will get done. This year even.

The Ginger Thomas are doing strange things, though. The hills are less yellow because there are fewer blossoms. Not sure if it’s because they are blooming later, or if they’re doing what some of the plants in our yard are doing. The ends of each stalk are becoming fuzzy with small wrinkled leaves rather than full of yellow flowers.

It rained so much the other night we still have puddles in our road. Unusual but not unheard of. We’ll have gleefully full cisterns!

A shower just went by in the middle of the first day this week-end that Michael is able to paint outside. Good thing he’s on the north side and the rain comes from the east.

I painted inside this morning and am spending the rest of the day cleaning the ceiling in the master bedroom. Oh what fun! Hopefully we’ll get that room painted (along with that bathroom, the small bathroom and the laundry room) next week-end.

I am officially refusing to pick up a paint brush on Christmas day.

Bah humbug, for now anyway, because I’m tired and stressed (more to come on THOSE topics)!

BUT Happy Chrismahannukwanzaadan to those who believe in those nebulous notions!
