I started painting the exterior of the Inn today. A soft sage green. I wasn’t sure I would like it, but after the second coat on a section of side clapboard, it looks like the color will blend quite nicely with the stone exterior and the stucco on the second floor. Tomorrow I’ll finish the side before my meeting at 3:00 PM. That should be the deciding factor. I think once I see the entire side, I’ll be able to make a decision. The worse case scenario, I’ll need to select a darker color and it will cost me a can of Behr paint.  Better to make that decision now rather than after I’ve bought gallons of this stuff.

     The weather today was gorgeous…perfect day to work outside. I cleaned inside after my guests last night, but headed outside as soon as I finished.

     By 6:00 PM, I was finished with my outside work and decided to move my efforts indoors at the little house.  I finally got to updating my calendar for the events in the area and Michael linked it to my site so now I can update it myself whenever.  My press release is almost finished (about time) and then I’ll move on to my newsletter. I found a template I really like. Most of the stories are already written along with a couple of recipes. Once I send this one out, the rest will be easy to do. It’s always the first one that is difficult.  Fortunately, they get better each time.

     Tomorrow will be pretty busy. I have baking to do in the morning for my afternoon meeting. The Inn is ready. It’s just the refreshments and set-up, so I will have time to paint in the late morning after my breads come out of the oven.  I broke down and brought a set of new cookware. Since I’ve been doing more dinners, I bring my cookware from the little house to the Inn and then back again.  It’s just getting crazy. When I was out shopping the other day, I found a complete set out of the box that the manager was willing to sell to me at 50% off. Needless to say, I scooped it up before someone else decided they had to have it. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it at the little house or move it up to the Inn. Oh my, decisions, decisions.
