Winking at you

Our old garage door was a bit of a nightmare.  It was 30 years old and every time we opened or closed it, I was afraid it was going to fall on our car.  It was one piece and we also worried about someone parking too close and being hit as the door swung out.

Here's a picture of the old one.

Today we had a new door installed.  Isn't it pretty? You know that funny winking thing your eyes do when you smile really big? I think it looks like the garage is winking because we have a happy home.  My husband probably thinks I'm nuts.

Makes such a huge difference to the front of the house.  You can also see that we had the hideous street light taken off from over the garage a few months ago.  Why it was there, we have no clue.  The grass is finally starting to come in and we also put numbers on the house.

I love Talavera pottery and couldn't wait to put them up.

Of course, I keep eyeballing that lovely siding on the house and formulate my plot to remove it and have the house stuccoed.  Perhaps that is our next big project?
