What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

Porch Painting


We chose the hottest two days in July to repaint the porch.

Matt insisted it needed to be done.  I felt it was absolutely fiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnneeee.

( I don't love painting... particularly spindles.)



Thankfully, I have helpers.


Of course, Sadie decided the most comfortable spot to lay her weary head was directly under the freshly painted railing, of all places.


The only before and after I thought to take was this one- contrasting the stair rails.  

I guess it may have needed it after all.



 Looking at this photo more closely,  I suspect Matt will make us restain the porch flooring this summer.

We'll choose the hottest days to do it, no doubt.

Your little Moses’ face says it all. 🤣

It’s so funny how pets (dogs and cats in particular) just NEED to be right where one is working/being.

Gosh, I can barely keep up now with reading your posts! You are clearly posting almost every day and are on a posting rampage (it’s good though, it’s good). I’m getting ideas for homeschooling my future children. (Whitewashing patios during summer is an absolute MUST!) Starting first though with how to cook a good meals. Pizza is top of that homemade list which I must master. After that, canning like the women in the olden days did. There’s so much to learn. A long time ago (when still a VERY little girl), I used to dream of cooking things like those puffs Laura Ingalls mom makes (in the book “On the Banks of Plum Creek”). Well, still have yet to do that.
