Spring is definitely in the air ...Hi Elora and MM:<br /><br />Spring is definitely in the air now. We're doing much of the same things here at OOHF...general cleanup, hauling a few things away, pruning, preparing for the growing season, and of course filling the greenhouse with plants. We also managed to paint the house already and I'm hoping it will last 20 years and be someone elses problem when it needs done again. My wife an I painted it when we first moved in 10 years or so ago, and it still looked OK for the most part, but was starting to peel in some spots, particularly on the windward side of the house. Unlike last time, this time it was pressure washed, primed, calked, and then painted. I think that will make a huge difference in the longetivity of the paint.OOHFhttp://www.oohf.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642807619836239233.post-74469951146445346822011-04-08T14:50:47.038-04:002011-04-08T14:50:47.038-04:00The warmer and longer days indeed spur us to work ...The warmer and longer days indeed spur us to work on.

Fortunately ours are largely done on an automatic system here and if there's anything over and above that it goes to the accountant otherwise I just check online later in the year to confirm the IRD's info they have on me and hopefully claim anything if that's what they've calculated. Have a great weekend.

Your sunset is gorgeous. You are on the same schedule as I -- taxes and spring cleaning -- neither of which I care for. But spring cleaning is in my DNA from my German mother and taxes might as well be -- as the gov't has instilled the practice in every adult person in the U.S. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.com
