Back from the long weekend........

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Well we were busy around the old Castle this Memorial Weekend.

Wasn't it grand, gorgeous weather, loved it....

Ron had some time off which is rare this time of year and got alot of

things caught up on his to do list!

We don't have to get goats now, as the lawn got mowed.

He also got some much needed rest and relax time too.

I was busy as well, taking advantage of the great weather and feeling good.

Got all the windows washed inside and out, I love when they are clean and

I can look out upon the greenery from inside.

I helped Ron too but that ended when I attempted by accident to cut

off the end of my thumb with a pruning saw. I do not recommend this!

I am ok , just bandaged up and with a sore digit!

We also BBQed alot and got to catch up on movie watching, rented a bunch we

had not gotten to see yet.

I took some time on Sunday to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday weekend with a visit to

the cemetery and a photo taking outing.

I tweeked a bit around the house.

One place being in the living room where I had wanted to change the drape rods to 2 singles

instead of big long one.

Still have to add molding around the bay window opening.

I also got the old light fixture back from the hardware store where the lighting guy was rewiring it for me.

So that meant tweeking the bay window area a bit!

All in all a good productive and also fun weekend, I even got flowers!!

(Click on photos below to enlarge)

The bay window area with 2 rods now for the drapes.

Actually I could push these out to the sides further and will when we

put the molding up. For now I was trying to use some existing holes in the wall

without making more.

Pretty pink roses!!!



The old Spanish brass light fixture hanging now in the bay window is one I found
second hand for no more than $10.
I took it to our local hardware store, the lighting dept. man there rewires for folks
inbetween customers for something to do. Cost me like $28 for materials and labor to
have him make this a hanging lamp with switch etc.
I added some prisms to it and .....voila , a hanging lamp!



Another shot of those pretty roses, I love roses, my favorite flower!

Happy Tuesday to all!
