Weekend Projects
Welcome to the yard Abraham Darby (which was not even on my list and a last minute surprise choice), and with your arrival the rose bed is done.
In master bath news, both ladders are still up, both me and the dog have paint in our hair, I've returned to work exhausted and the general state of total disarray continues.
One day its going to be a fully painted bathroom, with curtains up and new fresh rugs in place and clean and orderly.
Until then, its not.
Until then, I have a week of planning and plotting my next weekend accomplishments.

weekend projects
I had big plans but somehow ended up spending Saturday in my PJs, doing laundry and live streaming the If Gathering 2016 in Austin Texas in my breakfast nook.
On the short list of things I never thought I'd say, the war on wallpaper is over and Sunday, I went to Home Depot to get sheetrock mud, which my new plans include having it finished this week.
Then, I finished the rose bed, tucked two new roses in under the pine straw and anxiously awaited the arrival of their English cousin, which will arrive by way of Lafayette, La. I've got my heart set on an apricot one and my finger's crossed it will be this one, but I'll be just as happy with this my second choice.
I say finished the rose bed a little too confidently, because after thinking about it all night, I think I planted Mr. Lincoln too deep and I now plan to dig him up and re-position. He's only been tucked in for 24 hours, so the shock should not be too great.
There is a long list of things I did not do this weekend, but I did manage to wear myself out and washed the dog, changed the sheets, cleaned the kitchen, wrapped birthday gifts, made a fire, cut down a little tree and dragged it to the street, made jambalaya, watered the Camilla and begged it to bloom and generally returned to work on Monday exhausted.

Weekend Projects
The plan for making quarterly goals instead of yearly goals is still making a lot of sense to me. I've still got a whirlwind of things to do in my head but I'm basically forcing myself to not think about that and instead focus on getting two (and only two) things done right now .... the master bathroom done and getting a rose bed in.
Me and the pink steamer were on the ladder again this weekend. The bathroom wallpaper and the left over glue is finally off. All of it! Finally off! It took a long long time. I'll celebrate this week by getting dry wall mud up.
The rose bed got a little attention too in the form of fresh soil, spread and ready for some pine straw and some English Roses.
Doesn't seem like much, but I'm happy that both areas had attention this weekend. It was a busy busy week at work, and having week of house guests and revival at church four late nights in a row and I wanted to just lay on the couch all weekend, but did not. I wasn't sure I'd get much of anything done this weekend, but its moving (ever so slowly) forward.
