New Month, New Color

I love that each month brings a fresh color. A chance to clear out the leftovers of the old and sort through something fresh and new. So now it is time to put away the greens and dig into the blue bin. Like green, blue is one of those colors that tends to dominate the scrap pile. Feel free to divide and conquer by focusing on the bright and dark shades. Save the light and baby hues for another month. 
 No new photos to share yet as we are running on cell phone data for the moment. The internet people will be here tomorrow though, so looking forward to having more than two bars! I caught a horrible head cold just before the trip up to Virginia and then tried to ignore it and power through. We were all having so much fun getting settled in. Ryan (middle son) is tearing down sheds and Kurt (DH) is trimming trees while I run around behind them hauling rubbish away. It is sorted to be taken to fire pit, compost heap, chipper shredder or cut into logs for the fireplace. I've also been mowing and trying to kill some of the grass to replace it with lower maintenance ground cover. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I'll keep working on cleaning out cabinets and installing shelf liner. That will help with the organization as nothing seems to have a home quite yet. We did find some $3 pots at the flea market though, after realizing that we forgot a few essentials along the way.

It always seems to be a big job moving into a new property, especially one like yours with a yard which has seen better days Hope you are wearing gloves with all that manual work, must protect those hands! Do hope your internet problem is sorted soon.

I'm so confused. I thought you just bought a place in FL. Then I thought you bought a condo but it looks like it was just the rest of the building for rental purposes? Then I thought you bought a place in VA for the daughter to live in while finishing up college. Man, oh man. I hope it's not too personal but I'd love for you to straighten me out. Where in VA is the cabin? We've thought about doing the same.

I bet you are worn out by bedtime! Sounds fun, though. Looking forward to starting on blues.
