room painting

We spent the bulk of the weekend painting our daughter's room. It was all blue, with a darker blue for water going half way up, then a transition wave to a lighter blue for sky going onto the ceiling, then a transition to yellow sky with a big sun with rays a few shades of orange.

The new version is bland in comparison. It's now lavender with a standard white ceiling. This is spring break week, so she and mom are home the next couple days figuring out where to put everything since this is an opportunity to rearrange.

I did a small amount of gardening. Not much has sprouted since I put out seeds, so I replanted many of them. The beans had sprouted, but it looked like something pulled them up. There were small holes along the pea rows, so something dug them out. Between the squirrels and the towhees, the garden's not doing well this year. The chickens don't get into these areas, though they are very curious about the seeds when I'm out there.
