Then I managed to find them-both of them. I have some yellow paint, I can see them in that bright color as it would be most helpful. What a great idea!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25414751.post-33921040553375899802009-03-13T09:53:00.000-07:002009-03-13T09:53:00.000-07:00I have the same problem and I like your solution. ...I have the same problem and I like your solution.

Truthfully I find that if I can sprinkle some fun between my more utilitarian tasks, my mood is much improved. That is, until I discover that my shovel is MIA. <BR/><BR/>I thought about colored tape but I doubt it would last and there'd be that sticky residue... Paint, screaming yellow looks like the answer.
