Still May
I promised myself May would be mellow, but I am keeping a little list of projects I'd like to do once it's June. The little yellow shed in the side yard doesn't really need to hold Christmas decorations, does it? Maybe it could use some shutters and window boxes, a set of tea towel curtains and a rug, instead? And maybe, just maybe, it could use a black and white paint job on the floor, like our porch? And a little white picket fence around it, to keep out goblins and dragons and black labs? I know a certain set of children who would think a little yellow playhouse much more charming than a little yellow Christmas shed!
I also want to keep working on our garden. It's all planted and fenced in from the chickens, but I'm thinking maybe it needs some pizzazz. What that pizzazz is, exactly, I don't know yet. But as there are almost two weeks left in this month, I have plenty of time to figure that out.
And of course there's my dining room window, looking lopsided with its one curtain. The fabric finally arrived for the second--I guess I could get started on it. Knitters always talk about second sock syndrome; I have second curtain syndrome! But if I could get it done, maybe even serenely working on it this month, I'd have plenty of time to do a little playhouse and garden renovation come June, right?
But it has to be done "serenely," because I'm committed to living mellow this month, and I promised I wouldn't do any projects that cause chaos and mayhem in our lives. But just between you and me, I'm starting to feel the urge to buy a can of paint, or something.
I've discovered that mellow is hard for me.
