Just wanted to add some brightness

Our shed doors have faded over the years and were a variety of shades of grey!

So Colin started by using a primer for plastic/Rubbermaid products.

First coat. Definitely brighter.

A wee visitor on the back the shed.

Someone accidentally set a fire while doing some yard work. It was put out just before the firemen got here. Needless to say with all the local fires this summer this was stressful for many.

Our Mountain Ash is slowly turning colour. However there are less than ten small bunches of berries throughout the entire tree.

This was taken last December while we were on the Isla. It is overfull with berries. I have no idea why there are no berries this year.

Just a little more colour to our yard.

Smile.

    It looks lovely!! You must be getting excited about heading south soon!!

    1. Very excited. As I get older I find it a great deal of work to go back and forth from the house to the RV. However once I get to Mexico I forget all about the stress. I am counting the sleeps.

    Red is lovely and the chairs look good sitting near the doors. Wishing you a beautiful Fall.

    1. I think I am going to paint our front door the same colour in the spring. I truly am making an effort to look outside around me to see the chosen in colours. And the hundreds of ducks getting ready to fly south.

    Shed looks good! Our mountain ash has absolutely no berries this year. We are not the only ones who have none. Very unusual indeed.

    Looked up on internet:
    It is possible the plant received too much nitrogen and could be fertilized once in the Spring with 0-10-10 fertilizer (this related to the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in it) to boost blooms.

    BTW Contessa, the advice you gave Rick (It’s About Time) to have the knee replacement instead of the cortisone injection was spot on. He really needs to have the surgery to end the suffering.

    Love the red doors. Our previous house had a red front door, 23 years later I still miss it!

    1. I plan to paint that some red on our front door when we get home. As you know I love bright Mexican colours.
