Project Update

Our garden has been a family project from day one.

Joe dug up the sod and laid the blocks.  I filled it with good garden soil.

Gabe helped me pick out the seeds at Lowe's, and Isabel helped me plant the seeds in my little greenhouse.

Then we watched them grow...

My clematis (which I planted during last year's garden makeover) is really taking off; this is also where the tomato garden will be.

The pole beans, carrots, squash, lettuce and peppers are here, below the deck.  We hope that by being close to the house, the bunny rabbits will be deterred by our "killer cats".

Yesterday, Gabe was thrilled to find the first three red (or almost red) strawberries in our patch!  I let the kids each have one, and they said they were delicious!

I couldn't for the life of me find a "before" picture of our master bathroom; suffice it to say it was linoleum, white shower insert and boring old vanity.  After months of hard work by my handy-dandy husband, it now looks like this:

Joe did every single thing by himself; moved the toilet, excavated the old shower/sink/toilet, laid all the tile on the floor, shower and walls, picked out the colors of the tiles and cabinets and walls and did all the installation (I did help hold the cabinets while he hung them and I picked out the decorations...it's the little things, right?)  I am so proud of him; it looks amazing!  If you live in the tri-state area, I do rent him out during the summer months when he's off school...

What projects are going on in your house (Suzann, I am anxiously awaiting pictures of your kitchen makeover!)?
