Sunset, a tui and drop cloths.

Here are a few snaps of my week...
I count my blessings when I see a beautiful sky at the end of the day.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly and do everything what should be done and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal.
~ Elbert Hubbard.

 Through the shutters, I took this photo of the sweet tui in the tree. They are such beautiful birds with a tuft of white feathers at their neck.

I could be joining white Wednesday today ~ this is how our lounge has been looking like since Monday. 
Casper the friendly ghost could come and live here with us.

The plasterer finished skimming the walls today, so now we will be able to move onto the next stage. Great to say goodbye to the green wallpaper and hello to the room looking light and bright.
{sorry the photo was taken at night, so it is dark}


Have a beautiful day
Hugs
Carolyn

    Dearest Carolyn,

    You still have so much to enjoy around you... Those weeks of renovating will soon be over and you will be happy.
    Enjoy the coming weekend.
    Love to you,
