My ten good things, not necessarily in order:
1. Most of my house painting is done. Just my room, the foyer, and a few doors and some trim, plus the bookshelves on either side of the fireplace to go. This is assuming I don't do the garage inside. It's drywalled, and I never painted it.
2. The dogs and I have been walking again. Usually we go 3 miles; yesterday we went 4. Today is an off day because it has been raining all day.
3. I am going to Vancouver and maybe also Phoenix. I hope I can swing Phoenix because my nephew I went to see there last year is getting married. Those would be two separate trips, unfortunately, and quite close together. A trip to New Orleans is also a possibility soon.
4. Child has been out of town for a week.
5. My house is now on the market. I have mixed feelings about that, but it's the only way I can move to my condo, right? I have to sell this one.
6. My forsythia, lilacs, tulips, snowball bush, and a few other things are all in bloom. I might as well enjoy them. It's my last year with a real, landscaped, private lot. Even my hostas I bought late last summer or early fall are now coming up. My peonies are growing, my hydrangea looks perky, my flowering plum bush is growing strong, my crabapple tree is flowering, and my other tree that I forget what it is also is flowering. My lavender will have a good year. My roses look good. My lilies are up. I wonder what the new people will do to my yard?
7. Molly is doing great with her medication reduction and change in delivery of the shot. She is a very pretty girl :)
8. I picked up medicine cabinets for the new bathrooms so I won't have just mirrors. I picked up a programmable thermostat. I still need to get two ceiling fans. I know nothing about ceiling fans, so this is a good time to educate me, if you do!
9. The winter is over. Spring is moving on. We might actually get summer some day.
10. Tomorrow I finish up with the Pick Things Out lady. Then I can go watch my condo being finished. I haven't been there nearly enough. I need to get the dogs there at least once a week from here on to get them used to the place to reduce the stress of the move. It might help me, too.

Your yard sounds like heaven. I know the new people will love it. I fell in love with the house we left in KY because of the yard!
sounds exciting, good luck with the sale of your home. It sounds beautiful.

There's nothing quite like watching your garden come back to life in the spring. I'm enjoying that now too. I also know it's going to be one of the hardest things for me to leave behind.
Sounds like it was a great week. You've accomplished a LOT!
Ceiling fans? You get what you pay for. Stick with the serious name brands, install dimmer switches so you can adjust the speed, and look for five-blade vs. four-blade units. They are less likely to become unbalanced and just look better.
Spring? It's 100 this weekend. I'm declaring ass-sweat season officially underway!!!
That would be the main thing that would freak me out to move. My yard is my therapy!! This year in Northern Illinois the flowering trees, bushes and tulips have lasted a long time, must be all the rain! AND they are so beautiful too! ~rose
Sounds like good things to me! I forgot about the 10 good things list. Guess I'll have to do mine this weekend, thanks for the reminder :-)
I have ceiling fans in every room. What do you need to know? They are simple to install but you will definitely need someone to help. You can't hold the fan up and connect the wires at the same time by yourself!
