if wishes were horses
I wish K would hear from a certain person.
I wish I had a little more time at home this week.
I wish I hadn't left my swimsuit at L's house.
I wish I would remember to take my pill in the morning.
I wish there was less crappe in my bedroom.
I wish it would cool off a bit in the evenings so we could open the windows.
I'm planning to do some housework today. Too much gallivanting - and I'm not done yet.
K is busy sanding and painting the exterior doors to our house.
I'm toying with the idea of having him do the front door in a color.
You've seen my house
do you have a suggestion?
And why does my door seem to float like that?
Maybe I need K to rip out that ugly metal threshold and put in a wooden one. Painted black. So it can rot.
We are dining at the home of dear friends tonight.
In the morning, I'm taking Youngest to visit one of his friends and spend some time at the beach. We'll be back on Tuesday.
I'm busy putting together photos from yesterday. We had a great time at my brother's house.
I even competed in the athletic events.
Imagine.

Now we are going to have a dark greenish/grayish door. Brass kick plate but darn, no knocker.
I think shutters and front door painted a dark teal, brick red, green, gray or black would look good. But it's difficult to tell what color the house and trim really are based on images via the computer. Also, if you get direct sun on the door am or pm, it will radiate heat back into the house.
I hope K hears from that certain someone, too.
And I would pay to see some of your synchronized swimming.
And maybe just a frontpiece of wood under the doorstep instead of shingles. It would visually anchor the doorway and change that free-floating look.
I wish I would remember to take my pill in the morning. --- Do you take one every morning? If so, what do you do to remind yourself?
I wish there was less crappe in my bedroom. --- Me too!
I wish K would hear from a certain person. --- Keeping my fingers crossed for him!
I think you need a step of some sort - then your eyes will follow the step to the door and not see the break on the bottom.
I wish you a most productive day and some enjoyable fellowship in the evening.
I love your house the way it is, though.

Going to look for the inside photos of your house to offer a suggestion.
But what? I can't help you with that...that's personal!
(I like the plum and red suggestions).
But going off the colour of your shingles, maybe a blue with a leaning to a lavender tint? That said, maybe a high gloss black?
I'd love to have a front verandah like that.
I'm disappointed there are no synchro shots and am sending "make the call" vibes on K's behalf.
lots of choices there!
brick- wood- stone- slate-
paint the door YOUR favorite color and it will warm your heart every time you enter!
