i’ve been painting my house. the outside of it. let me tell you, **that** is a capital-C Chore. it’s a biggish house …. and i need a 20-foot extension ladder to get to the tallest parts. so when i say ‘i’ve been painting my house’ what i really mean is ‘i’ve been running up and down ladders all the live-long day.’ the house is not quite 1/2 finished, but i am pleased with today’s progress. plus, i super-heart the new color — a brownish redwood-ish reddish warm hue.

during the little random rainstorm we had, i managed to get the outline done on barkwheats painting #3. paintings #1 and #2 are both nearly done, and i’m really happy with both of them. i’m not going to post them until the People In Charge Of Barkwheats have posted them on their own site … so no spoilers here. i’ll make more progress on #3 tonight, after it’s too dark to run up and down ladders. it’s entirely possible that my hands will morph into paintbrushes, given how much time i seem to be holding one lately.

also i’m still learning how to work this blog thing. so, you know, it might change. or i might mess it up. who knows? like, if anyone reading this knows how i can get the dumb footer off of this thing, let me know. (edit: no dumb footer thanks to new content management system!)
