White Wednesday
in
The new painted
"Chicken Coop".

Sunday, Deano decided to give a coat of paint to the coop before the rain comes, grabbed the boys and picked up what ever outdoor paint we had......ultra white exterior paint. I am too busy with cleaning the workshop to direct the work. They were done in about an hour. The chicken coop is on the way to the workshop and every time I would walk by....I would get blinded by the WHITE! Monday came and the Famiglia is gone. Nobody can stop me now...it took me 1 hour to add the stripes, paint and hang the window, replant the geraniums and make the "Coccode'" sign. Coccode' is the sound that a chicken makes in the Italian language. I sent a photo to Principessa aka Lisa, she loved it! When the kids came home from school I had to get their openion. Raffaele loved it.....Alan not so much, it says that it looks like a lemonade stand. Well I always wanted a lemonade stand. Deano came home and....says " Looks like a hot dog truck, or a chicken dog truck", well I always wanted a hot dog truck! lol
Every time I walk by I have a big smile on my face. I may be done or not, I have few more ideas.....






This is "Cuddle"

Ciao for now
Rita
