Maybe a year ago when John and I took a walk in a gentle rain to the grocery store and back. It was very romantic.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!
Thanks Pats Cats you too. I'm so glad I got all the varnishing finished yesterday. We installed one box and column last night and will finish the other today. The trim pieces will have to wait until the weather breaks. It looks amazing. I can't imagine why the previous owners would take them out. It adds so much character. I can't wait to decorate them for Halloween.
