Exterior Doors & Shutters-New Colours

It doesn't seem like that long ago we painted the exterior shutters, doors and window boxes....but we noticed the paint is peeling!   Never had that happen before...and cannot remember the paint used.  Normally we use paint this is for exterior metal (since the shutters are metal and doors are steel)....

I'm looking forward to warmer days & getting outside and freshening things up.  I've chosen two colours I've fallen in love with...for the shutters Benjamin Moore Cedar Path....

And for the doors and window boxes Benjamin Moore Rhubarb...

I love these two colours together....and the green will bring out the green undertones in our siding.  Of course the decks will get a fresh coat of stain....and we are considering building on to the smaller deck...to add an additional 3-4 ft. of space.  Currently, it can can quite crowded when we have family and guests....and sitting out on the pool deck is not an option.

It gets so hot there and it wouldn't matter what you attempt to use as shelter...unless it's early morning shade....the sun is pretty much blazing down out there until the sun goes down.  The deck flooring gets so hot....sandals are needed to walk...and we don't allow Liesel out there when it's hot....it could scorch her paws.....

Right now, it's in the "planning & discussing" mode.  We also plan to remove the "wiener ramp"... as we can carry Liesel down the stairs....and a couple of new gates need to be built & installed.  

We are gearing up for Easter and grand baby's birthday!!  Two things she loves....play doh and ice cream...so we've purchased her very own ice cream cart!  She & Grampie love rolling play doh at her little table...this should entertain her for a while.....

She will be able to make "pretend" ice cream cones for everyone!!

I picked up the cutest jumpsuit (for me) at Maurices the other day!  I saw it in a flyer that arrived in the mail....and went in to check it out.  As luck would have it...it was on sale.  The photo does not do it justice...it will be very cool and comfortable this summer....(and it has pockets!!!)

We didn't get much of a snow storm (happy dance) at all.  Just a couple of cm of snow....barely enough to shovel.  It's a wet. heavy snow....so blowing is not an issue....and schools and businesses are a go as normal.  The sun is currently trying to make an appearance!

That is all for now folks!  Hope you are having an awesome week!   Until next time.....
