The farmer who farms across the road, is done planting. This was him prepping the field for planting. So dusty. There 's a tractor and disc in this dust cloud.
You can not see the tractor or disc. See why I have to wait to wash windows ? But it is all planted now and the rains that are in the forecast will knock the dust down, thankfully.
I painted some things yellow...but fear it is too bright. I will go with it for awhile anyways.
Painted the bench and tops of these two tables gray. But I have decided to paint the table to the left all gray.
Painted the bird houses and a tin car. The cream color was from last year. I moved the begonia to another spot.
Ted finally got the brick walkways trimmed out. We trimmed the pines trees and some parts of our neighbor's tree, that get in the neighbor's way while mowing. The neighbor was happy about that.
Here's the porch this morning. The skies were cloudy almost the entire day. I would love a couple of sunny pleasant days in a row. LOL.
Last night's sunset. I thought it looked very lavender. Love that.
Hope all of you are getting ready for the end of school year, graduations, and vacations. We have a few family member's graduating , plus the neighbor boy...who was not yet five when we moved here. Time seems to have won out. The children grew up. Some times it can seem a hundred years ago...and others it seems just last week. Time plays with us. Enjoy your weekend. XO
I like the sunny yellow paint. Everything looks great. Your deck looks like a peaceful place to relax at the end of the day.
ReplyDeleteKaren, Now that the dust is done from farming...I can sit outside. I love when it's quiet and peaceful and I can enjoy the birds singing. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteAlways a sign of spring with the farmers are out planting....good sign. I like your painted bench and tables. Looks good!!! AND peaceful!!!
ReplyDeleteLouise, The farmers around here have planted all their beans, they do that first. Then it will be the corn fields. Thank you for the compliment on the painted furniture. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love your bright yellow! Everything is loking so pretty at your place!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a busy time of year for families with children at home. Summer is spending a few days at Amber'a and they sent me videos and Facetime and Marco Polo. Kailey lost her second tooth! She pulled both of them herself!
I'm sitting in the front room with the windows open. I can see the campfire burning beyond the deck. The wind chimes are making some beautiful light music and the night sounds fill the air - even over the big shop fan we have out here - it's turned on low.
Your 'grand babies' are growing up so fast.....and you have great grands now - right? Are Max and Luke GG's?
Linda, I bet Amber is glad Summer is there. Any time we can get some extra help at busy time..love it. I like that you can hear your chimes in the evening. Yes, Luke and his brother Max are my great grandsons, Layla is our great granddaughter and then little baby Leo is our great grandson in Cincinnati. Our grandson Skylar will be graduating. My great niece, Ted's great nephew.The neighbor boy. Busy time. Blessings for a fun weekend there. Stay cool and hydrated. oxox,love you, Susie
DeleteI like the bright yellow! And that amazing sunset...
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandi. Hope you are enjoying some pretty sunsets too. I would love to capture sunrises...but the woods down the road blocks my views. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEverything looks so neat and green. I grew up "out in the country" and dust was a major complaint of my mom's. Dust from the roads (we did not have a paved road) and dust from the fields. Good for you repainting things. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, So glad you understand about the dust out in the country. Gee, I thought it was bad in town. LOL. When the farmers spray, I make sure my windows are closed. I bet by the time I finish painting my porch things they will weigh a ton. :) Blessings to you honey, hope all is well. xoxo, Susie
DeleteApplause! Way to go, Miss Painter! I love the way spring is looking in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteHoney, I can not begin to tell you how many coats of paint are on that little yellow topped table. LOL I like to just slap on a fresh coat for a new look. Blessings to you and yours, hope all is going well. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI like the cheerful yellow and it's nice to try something different. We are definitely in a rainy pattern right now. The sun comes out every day...then the clouds build. Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I hate that it's so rainy there right now. Our blog sister Kris from JunkChicCottage is having her family vacation there .Hope you all get a some nice days. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe no longer have fields right next to us so I haven't a clue what the farmers are doing around here. I suspect they aren't planting right now because it's rained for a whole week!
ReplyDeleteLove yellow and I think the table is pretty. I have a few things that need painted....you interested? ;-)
Doris, We had so many rainy days that put the farmers behind on planting, that I was really surprised at the amount of dust raised. I really do like painting if I don't have to do any prep other than putting down newspapers. LOL. Blessings to you and your sweet family, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI like the bright yellow on your porch. It looks good against the gray. I have never encountered anything with farmers and had no idea that dust could be a problem when they are planting. Hope that is over with soon. Congratulations to all the graduates! It's a busy time of year for sure.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I thought the cream, light gray would work with the bright yellow. With the cream I didn't paint over that ...it was last years color. :):) Thank you for the congrats to our family members. I am excited for the neighbor kid also...he will be going away ...I think his mom will be sad...I will have to check on here every so often. Blessings to you and Joe, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI also like the bright yellow...such a nice pop of color!! Life in farm country is always interesting!! We are having a retaining wall built at Grimmwood and I have enjoyed seeing the progress. We plan to go there next weekend so I can inspect it in person!!
ReplyDeleteHi Arlene, Get some pictures of that wall, as I am not sure what you mean. Seems every farmer in our area ran those drainage pipes...hope they don't squawk if the county decides to tax for clearing the ditches. There was a howling a few years back about the dredging of drain ditches. Always something honey. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, I love the bright yellow and the grey. How lovely and inviting your porch and deck. The "Jack in the Bean Stalk", I posted several weeks ago, finally bloomed. So pretty, will post a picture.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda, I did get the one table painted all gray and a couple of plant stands. I will keep the tallow touches for this summer. I can't wait to see you plant.Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love your yard and deck. It would be so pleasant to spend the afternoons or evenings out there. The yellow is cheerful! Your flowers are gorgeous and, as usual, a beautiful sunset!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the time flies by and the kids grow up!! We only have one graduate so far.
DeleteNonnie, Ted and I like to sit out in the early evening. Can not do that during mosquito time. Some times I feel shocked at the speed time goes by. I want to hold the babies longer and more often. LOL. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMe too!
Deletelovely sunset..Farming is dirty work for sure..It pays off though..Enjoy your week..
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific yard and deck! You just have to LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteyour summer porch is so pretty, I love it! Love the pretty yellow table!!--I dont think it's too bright at all! All your Mother's day flowers are so nice. I just love how you've decorated it all. Very pretty porch!
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, Love that lavender sunset. Glad the dust/planting is over with for now. Your porch looks so bright and cheerful. Wishing you a very nice day. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Susie..I know this is an older post...but..I just wanted to tell you...you can never have too bright of yellow!! I love your table and...your porch is beautiful! Boy, I'd love to sit out there!!
