Still waiting for rain!

They've predicted rain all week and 90% but no rain!  We did have a nice shower yesterday in the early morning hours but that's it.  I guess I'll need to go out and water again.  Meanwhile, I got back to work on a project I started last year before that fateful summer.  I had taken the closet doors off the entryway closet and painted it along with the shelf.  I removed the clothes pole and ripped up the carpeting...............this is how it was left...........

So today I moved ahead with the plan..........this is wrapping paper I found and I attached it with double-sided tape.  The only problem was that the wall is textured so there are lots of air pockets and I had to really rub the paper to make it stick securely.  So far so good but I'm thinking when I wake up in the morning it will have fallen down.  I hope not. 

 I only bought one roll of paper as it was not cheap but there will be a dresser to hide the end of the paper................... 

 this dresser............

But first I have to remove the entryway carpet and paint the floor before that happens.  I know I only have plywood under the carpet but anything would be better than this 50-year-old germy carpet!  Have I said how much I despise carpeting?  Well, I do....always have and always will.  Area rugs and throw rugs are fine but no carpet for me!  I can't afford laminate flooring throughout this house nor would I want anyone here installing it at this time so I'm moving ahead myself. 

Eventually there will be some fairy lights and battery-operated candles on the shelf.  I think it will look nice when done.
I made some black bean burgers for supper to go with some sweet potato and corn.

  I hope you had a great Friday!  Stay safe and stay well!
Happy Trails!!!
