A Little Bit of Cleaning
While I Worked On The Outside She Worked Inside
I was checking on our house
We got a real lot of rain
The water pooled up in many spots in the yard
I don't mind that
As long as it doesn't make it's way into the cellar
Tonight is suppose to turn cold
The puddles of water will turn to ice
Luckily under the ground
All is still frozen
So it will give the water time to disappear
We have a drain in the front of our house that pours into the culvert
The neighbors house to our left is higher than our house
So the water in their yard trickles down to ours
The house to our right is lower than ours
So our water trickles down to them
We both have a good size yard with grass
I put buckets around the house to catch some rain
They help but to what degree I am not sure
There is nothing else to do
We just have to wait it out
These are just one of the many things a homeowner has to deal with when buying a home
As I come in from the rain
My wife was busy cleaning the bathroom
She just cleaned our bedroom
Then she swept the kitchen floor
Enough for now
Our home is looking pretty nice
I like many things about our home
It is small and not a lot of maintance
We had it built in March of 2003
We have made some nice changes since then
Adding on a back deck and a shed
We have painted each room different colors
Changed propane guys for a better price in fuel
Bought a new kitchen faucet when the old one broke
Added gravel to our driveway
So we could avoid tracking in the mud
These were small steps to make our house more beautiful
We plan on living here till our final days
So many people want to move to a smaller home or somewhere else when they get old
We fell in love with our house and it will always be our home sweet home

AUTHORShyron E Shenko I am so thrilled. The water somehow some way didn't go down in the cellar. It rained all day and there were so many puddles. Some things in life we just can't figure out. I love that I was not the only one who liked all white. So many things can happen in just one day. I love seeing so many friends and writers who go out of their way to share. I love when two thoughts connect so you can imagine what I feel when two people agree on the same feelings, thoughts, ideas about life. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Have one incredible day.
Dream-On, I can relate to much to much rain, and the dog bringing in mud, and once the water almost into the garage. I can also relate to the dream home, mine bu.ilt in 1995 all white.
Hope all is dry in your home.
Blessings my friend.

Gypsy Rose Lee My wife had a vision what she wanted. We painted each room pastel colors. The kitchen a Burnt Orange, the living room Mauve, the bedroom Lilac, and the bathroom Butter Cream and our spare bedroom French Bread the hallway Cool Cucumber I was thinking of keeping all rooms all white. My wife thought our home would look more like a doctors office and wanted something calm and soothing. How right she was. Now our home is inviting and relaxing. My wife and I always compromise and agree to disagree. She told me if I wasn't happy we can go back to all white. There are certain things I am very excited and thrilled to have very different than I expected. This is definitely one of them. We have a simple ranch style home. Thank you for being the first to comment. I am so happy that you can enjoy your home too. Wishing you a beautiful day.
I love the idea of rooms in different colors. You can then imagine how it was when I found myself alone far from my homeland and in an old house built in the 1960s. So I was glad to get into a little apartment where everything is that way it should be for me.
