Last year we made and grew an amazing garden of veggies, but I didn’t think to take any pictures to document it. This year I am taking the time to do that. We had an unseasonably warm day and spent it getting the garden prepped up for planting. Last year we did romaine lettuce, roma, …

The Cherry Tree
“What kind of tree is that?” I was looking at the large tree that dominated the back yard. We were viewing the house for the first time, it was past 7pm, and I couldn’t really make out what it was in the dark. All I knew is that it was big. Iris moved in beside …
The Renovations are Finished (almost)
We finished the renovations a few weeks ago, for the most part. There are no towel or toilet paper holders, the trim isn’t done in the master bathroom, and the powder room has no mirror, but it’s very livable. We’ve been working on the back yard and garden since shortly after we moved in, making …
