Today was more of a fix-it day than a cleaning day. We took off the cover from the front door and put up new screening. Lorna also put a piece of lattice on the front bedroom window.
Years ago, when we had a dog on the porch on a long cable for her to run on. She was attached to the cable via a heavy chain. One day that chain swung and cracked the glass on the window. A few months later, Lorna and I were leaving the house and she shut the door behind us. The glass shattered and fell literally on her head. She was fine but the glass was officially beyond duct tape.
We replaced the glass but less than a month later, it broke again, but I can’t remember what broke it. It was summer so we just covered it with screening. We had to add lattice to keep the cats from shedding it when they jumped up on the door as a way to ‘knock’. Come winter we covered the inside of the door with that solid pink insulation. That was, oh, five years ago? A front door was on our ‘get’ list but it just never happens.
Anyway, it was the annual ‘Taking Down of the Pink’ day. We’ll need to put up a blind that fits in well with our ‘white trash’ motif.
