We finally decided on Manor Red for the exterior paint. Over the course of a number of hot weekends and with the help of Pa and Darrin, Mark completed the painting of all exterior gutters, fascia, eaves and... a gable and spire. It makes such a difference!
The only thing left to do is make a new home for gnome in the front garden.
Have now planted a posse of Iceberg rose standards and gardenias in the rear garden outside the dining window. The thought is that we can look out from the dining table onto a cluster of roses. Just need to replace some irrigation hosing, place down more pine bark, plant a few more flowers and the gardens will be complete. In the meantime, my vegetable and herb gardens are doing very well and I have my first red tomatoes on the vine. Very cool!
