Two Girls on the Couch

As Claire said when she walked outside, "Wow, it's a beautiful day." So the Morgan girls are spending the afternoon outside. I'm on the back porch blogging and surfing online, and Claire is doing homework. The weather's been great the last few days, and today is sunny and breezy. I'm cherishing these cool spring days, as summer will be upon us soon with its sweltering heat, no-see-ums, and oppressive, smothered-by-a-hot-blanket humidity.

We've recently moved an old couch onto our back porch, which gives us comfy seating and a better place to house the couch. The couch last resided in the bonus room which is being transformed into the nursery. I'll post pictures of the completed nursery once we're done.

The couch originally belonged to Mr. Morgan's paternal grandmother, so he didn't want to get rid of it when we had no place to use it or store it. Last weekend Mr. Morgan sprayed three coats of marine-quality polyurethane on the wooden parts of the couch, and we've moved it to the screened-in porch. Our next step to making the couch durable for the outdoors is to re-cover the cushions in an outdoor fabric. I guess we'll add making cushion covers to the list of projects we have reserved for Debra Jo.
