It's On My Mind

Even though we officially have an extra hour of daylight, doesn't it still seem as though there's not enough time to get everything done? Lately I've been chasing my tail (not unlike one of my previous pups), spinning around and around and feeling like I'm no where near finishing anything. That's why this past weekend was a pleasant surprise. Here are a few of the tasks now crossed off my list:

Plants migrating from a gloomy basement to glorious sun. 

And best of all, I did a BIG project.  I painted my front door in a color I'm sure has astounded the neighborhood. I tend to play it safe with calm neutral tones. But this time I decided to go wonky wild with a bright, vibrant color. 

I pored over paint samples and finally selected The One. I sanded my fingers to the bone to get off the boring cinnamon color. Then I locked Bogey and Indy in the bedroom (no need for paint on hair or hair on paint). My trusty brush and I had a date with destiny, and here's the finished product:

It's fun and glorious and maybe just a tiny bit Easter eggy, but that's okay. Overlooked is something that will never befall my front door. 

Can you tell I'm in a Springtime frame of mind?
