I found this beautiful wood box at a garage sale, marked $15, for 10. Plans are for a satin polyurethane inside and out and literally making a foot locker out of it, full of mani / pedi “stuff”! And a perfect top for my purse and swim bag. It’s that time of year I am longing to create. Till now it’s been hard work outside, weeding, mowing, deadheading….but then the garage sales are calling me by name…..and the treasures are stacking up in the garage. OK, they need glueing, painting, etc. etc.
The garage is cleaned out. The car loaded with things for Goodwill. Need to clean out one more section of mops and brooms and sticks and long handles and pieces of piping and more brooms…just in case…..well those “just in case” will be the NEXT case load for Goodwill… Making room for cooler weather garage sale finds coming up.
My heart is weeping for my family who has just experienced incredible basement flooding damage and roads being washed out in New York about 10 days ago…. That wasn’t enough. Yesterday’s wind storms took out multitudes of trees doing massive destruction on her property. I am praying…in the Name of Jesus for the community to come together and help each other….then will come that sweet time of renewal when the dust clears and the debris is removed. Thank you, Lord, you spared her life.
Today has arrived! The battery is fully charged. It’s time to wack those mums down to 4 to 5 inches above the ground! THE FINAL WACK ! ! ! And then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. By September you will have the most beautiful mums about town…..year after year.
