Kick it in high GEAR

I kicked into high gear this week and got lots of stuff on my "summer to do list" DONE. It all started with trimming the hedges. Then it was off to cooking to class with my dear friend Katie where we learned how to make at least ten different recipes using blueberries. My favorite thing of the day was when we made our own blueberry preserves. I have three jars in the cabinet and one half eaten bag (teacher ran out of jars) in the fridge. I can't wait to make lots of other fruit preserves now!!!

Cleaning house threw us into to the next gear. We cleaned from top to bottom. I even scrubbed each individual tile by hand. Pretty IMPRESSIVE, if I do say so myself. We took everything up a notch when we disassembled a very important part of our swimming pool, fixed it, and put it back together with minimal pain. Just call Morehead Pool Repair the next time you need service!

Despite the rain, I pressed the clutch in hard and re-painted a chest of drawers, night stand, and an iron bed for one of our bedrooms now named "the Sand". You may remember pictures of a bedroom a few weeks ago. That one is named "the Sea". Of course the naming part is just me being silly. :)

She looks great!!

Friday, I put the petal to the metal and painted another bedroom. If  you have ever stayed overnight with us, this is the room you slept in. It used to be pink and green, but now it is a nice yellow titled "Sun Hat". I keep stepping into the room because it is so refreshing!
Before:(

Today, I took it back down to neutral and baked a turtle pull apart cake. It is not as cute as the butterfly, but I mean lets be honest, the butterfly is going to be hard to beat. Then I lounged by the pool and ate watermelon until the never ending rain came once again.

Until next time......
