Our weather is finally, slowly, starting to turn around ( praise the Lord, it’s been a long winter), and I’ve got outdoor projects on my mind. As soon as I finish our closet renovation, I’ll be heading back outside to finish up some of the projects I didn’t get to last summer! . .

This picture looks great, but It looks so dirty all the time and is impossible to keep clean. So there is my tip for you heading into spring. . .
