I Won The Battle, But What of the War?

A slightly productive day, but also fairly relaxing.  Since I truly can't have that, I quickly found stuff to do.  Change the bedding, wash the dishes, take out the garbage - mundane stuff.  Quiet little things like reading the paper snuck in and that triggered an idea.  Stains and paints on sale at Home Depot, Rona, and Canadian Tire.  Such dangerous things these weekly flyers.

So I've decided to paint the porch posts and both the garage and front doors.  But that opens the other can of worms: our pitiful front step.  I think I may have found my plan for the week!  The only question is: can I do it?  Sites like this make it sound easy.  Bit of gravel, some stone and voila! A beautiful front step.  Tomorrow is paint buying day.  Perhaps I'll just grab whatever colour I want for the doors.  I'm thinking a mossy green.  Nothing too bold.  This is the current colour scheme (forgive the picture - moving cars and cold weather are not conducive to perfect photos!)

So many possibilities with a house that is essentially a blank slate.  Gardens, walkways, fences, decks, painting... the possibilities are endless!

And exactly when do I plan on doing all of this?  I have to start training for my half marathon this week while still teaching my Women Only clinic.  Fortunately, I'm on holidays this week.  As long as I get the posts painted and the railings back up, I'm winning right?
