This bodes well...

It's just past noon and I've already painted the trim on the back porch, the outside of the icebox, and the iron banister.  Let's hope the rest of the summer is just as productive!

 Back door trim now matches the rest of the house.  Please ignore the chipping paint on the ceiling.  It's on the list.

 Ice box needs one more coat to do it.  Then I'll put the hardware back on and paint the hinges black.

 Iron banister got a fresh coat.  Steps and floor are on this week's agenda.

 I had a poodle helper.

 Gratuitous poodle shots.  These were taken pre-paint.
