This morning began as every other day this week -- with outside workers scraping and sanding the side of the house to ready it for painting. The scraping was manageable as it was not as continuous as a power tool version. The latter provides the loudest noise indoors but very little sound outside. The vibration in the house was major at times -- creating fear and consternation in the furry one and messing with my head over time. It could give me a headache from the sound. I felt sorry for the little guy with the super hearing -- it must be horrific for him. Luckily once this was done we've had two days with mainly painting. For the most part, this was much quieter. Sleep will be on the agenda for both of us over the weekend, I'm sure.
While I was trying to sound reassuring for the furry one, I was trying to say the sound was a good one. It meant our house would look prettier when it was all done. The back looks great with the new paint and today we had scraping and sanding and then painting of one side of the house. That appears freshened up as I walked by this evening. Perhaps we could all use a freshen-up, but from the inside rather than external changes. For it is who we are inside that really shows to the world and not just the external decor. While we generally think of a spring cleaning, it may be just as reasonable to do this in the fall. Hmmm.
The lines of lyric in my head this week come from a famous song. Covers of this one aren't as common -- the original was done with amazing production that gave a very distinctive sound. One cover that works in its own way is shared here today. Enjoy!
Good Vibrations -- Wilson Phillips
