feel the heat and break out the reggae tunes!

So...knowing what our winters are like, do we complain about the current weather conditions? While I tried to paint, it was so warm I had to wet the area I was working on to keep the paint from drying too fast! Then my plan for this morning was to sleep in but with light streaming in before 6 a.m., I couldn't stay in bed. Now I've gotta rush out and soak some plants and give some shade to a couple of them so they might be able to live through the heat of the next few days. One good thing is there is a cooler gentle breeze blowing through the area.

Yesterday was a nice day. I was at Lowe's looking at paint stuff and picked up a shower curtain. I'll have to ask Wes about getting a large container of glaze to do the bathroom and the fireplace (both in different colors and techniques) and that will be my home projects for the summer. I think it will be so cool! I'm planning to wall paper the bottom half of the wall. The paper looks like little aqua tiles in lights and darks and they are wavy! I got the paint to paint the top half of the walls in light and dark aqua to look like underwater. Then I'll paint the honu. I'm doing the smaller guest bathroom because for one, I'm chicken to do our large bath, and number two, when I mentioned it I didn't get an okay from Wes. I can't start it yet because I still have to finish the background and a few details on the motorcycle Tita. Yesterday I got some of her features done and flower printed her dress. I guess I need another day to work on her, then I'll sign it and put a clear coat on her.

Daughter Kapua came by with a truck and took away our green furniture. The livingroom is empty except for my chair and we are just waiting for the couch to arrive. 4 year old little Lehua has a ballet recital in the afternoon and after that our family is having a barbecue at Kawika's. My steaks are marinating and I've gotta make a potato salad. Oh happy day!!--
