Thanks, Adelia! Paint is so gratifying; we had that instant hit of satisfaction. I am at this very moment filing papers and entering stuff on a spreadsheet. It's only happening as I'm forcing myself to do half an hour. The feeling at the end is just relief, not delight.
Such a delightful description of what to some might be a mundane activity. It was my great pleasure to share some of that working down the list with you Zoe. Good thing that Kira didn't become inspired to become a canine roller spreading the paint far and wide. Because of your brilliant spruce up, you might have to wear sunglasses in the rain. I can hear the salmon singing "hallelujah" for the fresh water falling from the sky.
Thanks, Joy! My problem is to include the wabe-sabi--the let it go gracefully part. Transience and imperfection.

Give me that red door for delight anytime!
Such a lovely invitation to all of us to practise a Japanese approach to life.
This is delightful!! To quote Skip, "A brilliant spruce up indeed!!"

Thanks, Skip. It didn't actually rain nearly as much here as had been forecast, but yes, I'm with you, the salmon need this rain.
