Rain today, so it was a “work on the house” day. Paint is going up in the hallway. Sparkling spruce, the color will show better once we change the light.

A productive morning so far, Greensboro Farmer’s Curb Market, Garden Center, thrift store, and Lowe’s. Also got some ideas for a non-traditional border for the flower beds we’re putting in.
