Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  And our weather is finally starting to become nice!

We can take walks without our stocking caps!

 

 

We took our bikes to the Bristol bike path and went for a little cruise.  Fortunately, our big workouts are over, so we were able to enjoy the scenery - like seeing downtown Providence!

 Ships in the harbor!

 Such a beautiful day - there were a lot of people out and about, which is so nice to see

 We are still working on getting the boat ready for the water.  Chris waxed the sides

 I cleaned the interior

 And then we enjoyed these!  Yum!

Signs of Spring

New England is slowly warming up, showing us that winter will end!!

On one of the nice days, we uncovered the sailboat!

 

 We'll be in the water in about 1 month!

Signs of spring around home:  Some of our flowers are blooming!

 our porch chairs are out from the basement!

 Sun is warm enough for an afternoon siesta - outside!

 And the swans are out and about

Another Painting Project!

Still updating our house - maybe we'll sell it while prices are on the rise.  Not sure where we'll move though...  somewhere warm and sunny would be nice though!

So my next project was our 3rd bedroom - which we call the treadmill room, because that's where we keep the treadmill and other odds and ends :)

Originally, I had wanted a rust color - which is what we got - but it was a little too pink.  I know it looks orange in this photo - but this room has funny angles and the lighting is atrocious.  The color wasn't ugly enough to redo - until now :)  We had some brown paint left over from painting our kitchen.  It's kind of dark - but I didn't want to waste $$ on another color.  So that's what I used  And it turned out fine.

 

 Again, it's hard to tell from these photos.  But we are happy with the result - nice, simple, and neutral!

 Guess we'll have to get rid of our rust rug - but that will have to wait until we move the treadmill.
