Fresh Fish?... Summer is near!

I spent the past few days giving my fish mobile a fresh coat of paint and some new string.

Its a yearly ritual that I have come to look forward to.

For me,
cleaning and re-stringing my fish means summer is near.

This year the fish needed a fresh coat of paint in addition to new string.


I know...

I should bring them in over the winter months.

I just can't seem to bring myself to take them down when I am hanging the Christmas lights.



I  like their bright colors and wide eyed look in mid winter when the skies are gray and dreary.



After the fresh coat of paint,
I sprayed them with clear coat to make them bright and shiny.







Tonight I hung them back in their rightful place on the front porch.



Now I am officially ready for Summer!
