Met with the painter to touch up the house for summer….I’ve asked him to paint the porch floor in a stone color, and repaint the front and back doorways in glossy white…will give everything else a good scrub down to freshen up.

Newspaper recycling time: I still get the New York Times delivered every day as I love the ritual of reading the morning paper…I’m also a “clipper” and have a razor blade ready to cut out articles, inspiration, recipes, new shops to visit, etc. for various projects. What’s left I use for fireplace starters, window cleaning and for my friend Thomas’ puppies . . .

Our little farmstand down the road is all set up with rows of potted flowering bulbs in beautiful spring colors…I always look for the grape hyacinths and apricot tulips for my nieces, pale lavender pansies for my mother and find some white tulips and hyacinths for myself and my sister…I love supporting the local stand and when the blossom’s fade I plant them outside in the garden for next year!

I have a stash of clay pots in the garden shed which I re-use when buying Easter plants in those foil covered plastic pots… I keep a crate of moss ready to finish them off which looks good and keeps the plants moisturized longer as well…
