MY 3 WEEKS IN ST. GEORGE...(Part 2)

While I was in St. George for 3 weeks working like mad...
We took a break and went up to see our kids in Ceder. This
little darling is our Sophia in her cute Easter dress!

On to our daughters place, the kids had just got a new swing
set and boy were Caleb, Ella and Sophia having fun!

Little Miss Easter bunny Sophia.

Just to show you what it looks like around our little home
in St. George, this is off to our left as you go out the front
door. There are so many sweet song birds, it makes me so
happy!

Off that same side...

The covered back patio area, so fun to sit out there
taking in the bird songs and the smell of honeysuckle!

I LOVE the old windows in this house! Built in 1937 and it
has so much of that old character that I love.

Looking out back at the old, old grape vines that have been
around this area since the pioneers...they have grapes on them too!

I worked so hard on these kitchen cabinets...They were oak
so I had to clean them, then put a layer of Primer all over
them, that took a full day. Plus I did the same to all the doors
and door frames.

There are a bunch of cabinets in this kitchen, which I love, but
what a lot of work! A couple of days I worked so hard and so
long that I went into the chills, then cramping! Some Advil and
a hot bath got me fixed up for the next days work though.

You can see here all the ugly oak-ness of it all.

All the walls in the house were stark white! I like white but
not that much of it and not blinding white!

The house was a real mess while I was working but you get
an idea of the layout and how it looked.

We hauled bits and pieces of some of our oldest furniture down
so we had something to use. When our house here sells, we can
then fix it up really nice.

They front foyer and little steep stairs that go up to two
bedrooms or whatever rooms.

I nearly threw these out because I hate the work of doors
like these but I didn't, just primed them too.

I love birds and birdhouses, so I have hung a few around
the house, they make me happy and hopefully the birds too!

I painted these...wild huh?! Oh well, maybe some little wild
birdies will love them! They really stand out and are so cute
by the house.

...Welcome To Our Nest...

This seagull reminds me of the true story of how they came
and gobbled up fields and fields of crickets, saving the pioneers
crops..in answer to their prayers.

This iron angel was just that, iron...so I used up 2 cans of
white spray paint making her...so beautiful. She sits right
in the middle of yellow honeysuckle.

If you are sticking around, part 3 and 4 of my three weeks
in St. George, they are next! (Click on older posts)
