I WAS THINKING…
since I’m sheltered at home, I’ve swapped my treadmill for walks in my neighborhood. All these years I’ve never paid much attention to the houses near me. I mean really looked at them. I didn’t know the house down the street now has a red door. And flowers, so many yards are blooming with gorgeous flowers. How did I miss them? I saw paved driveways and unique landscaping.

My painter is coming next week.
