All Set for Real Estate Market

No thanks to the cold snap for it slows down our #DIY exterior painting job. These pictures shows how serious I am with #DIY. Too much of Drew and Jonathan Scott's Property Brothers and John Gidding's Curb Appeal watching you may think huh? Or, was I a fanatic of #HGTV? LOL.

Three Yes's for those questions of course. By the way, for 3 years or more, John Gidding is my friend in Facebook, yayyy. Anyway, here I was doing the trimming paint job with my 16" extension ladder. Are you scared? My friends in FB was totally frightened, LOL! I am not scared of height for sure. I have new pictures to show you next time. Where did I learn to paint? Back home when I was a teacher. I always visit my classroom during weekends to improve it and painting is a sissy #DIY and I love doing it.  

Just to give you a #humor, here's my hubby taking a siesta and he would say, he is the supervisor LOL. Nah! Actually, he was doing all the painting using the roller. I was in-charge of the trimming because I have a steady hand. I was sitting there too while he was painting most of it. He was all red when he's done.

Here I was pressure washing the driveway. We will paint this today.

The paint will look good, I will be showing you the before and after photos. By the way, I love tools and I am crazy with smart tools LOL. There is a male spirit inside of me I guess. We will list our property this Friday and hoping to get a buyer real fast so we can move to the Gulf Coast. Wish us luck!

Relaxing by the Garden

Yesterday, as I watch the NFL in my iPad at the gazebo, I was looking at the bare space by the wooden fence. I was thinking of planting okra. My okra seedling is growing and I will plant them on that side by the fence on the weekend. Hubby loves Okra and I am not a fan of slimy vegies. Okra is certainly not my favorite.

By next week, I will start growing my seedling for bokchoy (pechay). One plant at a time because I am not too thrilled to visit my garden since Summer. Too hot to hang out at the backyard but, it's September so; expect that I will tend my garden more often. Can't wait for cool weather here in Florida.

Roses in Blooms

I got these lovely Roses bloom today. Pretty right? There's two of them and smells sweet. I love roses and I have 3 kinds so far. I want to plant different kinds of roses in my garden because it is easy to maintain and it can thrive a scorching heat.

Here is a big one. Another blooms I got is Daisy. What blooms do you have in your garden today? Check it out and let me know. I quit planting vegetables because the heat is really bad.

Thank you for stopping by.
