Tropical Storm...

This morning we woke up to 20 mile per hour winds and very heavy rain....

Our yard is flooded. It is hard for the gutters to keep up.

Right now it is just a tropical storm but they expect it to pick up to a hurricane and slam into Louisiana. I know they do not need that.

But it is very comforting knowing God is in control.... Every step of the way.

I love sitting on the porch while the rain pours down. It is so beautiful. As long as the mosquito's don't carry me away... those little devils sure do ruin a lot of outdoor fun.

This is the light fixture over the island in the kitchen.... The chain is bronze and the cap part is gold....

So I painted it with some Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I love it... but, every time I change something I see 100 more things that I need to do.... why is that?  I hope your Monday is happy and blessed.

xoxo,
Amy Jo

  1. So was it easy to paint that chain with the chalk paint? I always think those are hard to paint. Stay safe during the storm!

  2. Sandy,

    It actually was very easy! The paint just grabbed onto the metal and didn't run at all. It took maybe ten minutes total.... Thanks for stopping by.

    Blessings,

  4. I don't like storms. Fortunately we have in our country no extreme hurricanes. I love your pics.
