Paint, paint, paint, paint. How does paint get on an elbow? I don't know, but Tom had lots of paint on his elbow. And he was painting the ceiling. Maybe he leaned on the ceiling while he was thinking?
I'd take a picture of the ceiling, but it's your basic beige ceiling color, and photograph-wise it wouldn't look that much different. It's cobweb-free and clean and the cracks aren't so obvious. That's what you really need to know.
To break the monotony of painting, Tom decided to do a little R&R -- by mowing. A former neighbor and budding landscape designer (budding ... get it?), Jennifer, planted some great stuff in our front yard, so here's a picture of the new plants with our semi-new wall and the newly mown front lawn.
