Hi Ho, Hi Ho. . .

We spent many many hours this weekend knocking stuff off our to-do list. . .including painting, tiling, and installing new hardware on the kitchen cabinets. The place is starting to look pretty fantastic, and the better it starts to look, the more sentimental Joe and I get about the place. . .when the backyard starts to bloom, we are going to be in serious trouble! But on Sunday, Joe took me for a little Jeep-ride (YES! the first of the season!) out to our land and we walked around a bit and checked out the views and talked about where we would plant that one tree with the Adirondack chairs underneath so we could see the sunset when we are 80, and it helped knock things back into perspective. It is so hard to work towards something that doesn't even exist yet (our dream home on our dream property) when we have a pretty fantastic little spread here already, and lots and lots of memories too! Being out there reminded me what we are doing all this for. . .but loving my own home helps me stay content whatever should come our way in the next several weeks. There is no doubt it is going to be an adventure!

Buh-bye linoleum!


Will is really good at this actually!!!


Scraping windows!


My new hardware! That was my favorite little bit so far!
