A sneak peek at one of the walls and the cupboard. The color is a mixture of many shades of grey, brown, silver, and blue (like the ribbon above). My fingernails have a unique manicure of thick paint to prove it. (Gloves would be too practical.)
Gloves, a ladder, masking tape, and paint brushes are important tools… but not necessarily needed when you fly by the seat of your pants. I have a stool, some rags, newspaper and thick manicured grey nails.
One wall and the cupboard (small armoire) have been painted. I am missing the blue sheet rock. Funny how one can change so quickly without knowing it. I would have never thought I would love that sheet rock blue and yet I think I do. See your response do have an effect on me.
I know, I know it is just paint and I can re do it … like my brother Mathew said, " It is not the Golden Gate bridge." Which by the way is not even Golden but a burnt reddish color. I would have painted in a burnt mustard color at least.
I wonder after the Golden Gate Bridge was painted if someone didn't say, "Yeah, that color is not right. In fact the color is all wrong. We should repaint it. It is just a bridge anyway and what is paint." With that the team probably looked at him and said. Yeah, forget it buddy let it stay burnt reddish until the next time it needs to be painted."
I have a feeling my manicured grey nails might say the same thing when I am done painting the bathroom…
Sacha is in bed sick with a lung infection. He is a solemn happy camper in bed. Paint, soup and sharing stories is what I am doing these days. This morning he asked what I was going to write about. I said "Paint, soup and you."
Soup for the Sicky and the Mother who Paints:
Miso, water, rice, one diced carrot and thinly sliced celery leaves.
Add the miso to a pan of water, bring it to a rapid boil, add the rice, diced carrot and celery leaves. Cover and simmer for ten minutes or so.
Pour soup-for-the-sicky into a pretty bowl, serve it on a tray, with toast and gentle words of, "hope you feel better."
