Winton Green Acres

Winton Green Acres

Well. Like I said, I start with the best intentions and then fizzle out! It is now April 25th and I am finally getting back on here and blogging again! Could it get any colder outside? Today it is 58 degrees outside. Emma and I tried to outside and play for a while but after about 15 minutes it was too windy and cool. We have new baby kittens that are about 5 weeks old. They are so cute! So, I am sitting with them in my lap and Emma smiling walks over and hits them (she is thinking that she is petting, I think) and their little ears go out and they look at her in terror. I do feel sorry for any little animal with a child around!
I painted my entry way. After many months pouring over what color to paint I had a vision why not the color of a pomegrante? I love a bright vibrant color, why not? So, I go to Sherwin Williams and pick up a paper sample called Bouginvalle. (I think that is how it is spelt.) Low and behold I jump out on a limb and just do it. I love it but Thomas walks in and asks, Why would you paint the entry way hot pink? Well, heck! You would look at it and think it is hot pink! No, I correct him, it is Bouginvellia. Well, looks hot pink to me. O.k. the paint has dried and it is bright and it has a major pinky coral color to it. Yeah, I must admit it looks hot pink! DARN! Oh well. I still love it for now, and considering I hate to paint this was a monumental thing for me so it will be hot pink for a long time! hahaha!
