Signs

The signs of the season are everywhere. Especially on nice weekends. People are in their yards, working on their houses, painting, cleaning, scraping, planting. My husband has been wanting to put the snow blower away but I don't want him to jinx us. We could still get a cold spell and snow could be in the mix, but hopefully we're on the right side of winter now.

I have lots of outdoor projects to do but so far I've only given them lip service. I want to paint the front door, for instance. I'm still thinking about a color, but I know I need to make a decision soon. There's a small window of opportunity for such projects, when the weather is warm enough but not too hot and its actually fun to work outside. The door has been, at various times, red, yellow, blue and green. Right now it a very faded shade of blue and I can't decide whether to go back to red, which will match the red geraniums we plant in the window boxes every year, or a nice Williamsburg green to contrast the red. Then again, it's never been a pretty brown or beige, and a deeper gold might be nice. Too many choices - too many options. I can't decide.

Such are the dilemmas of the season! I love them!
