Random Thoughts On The House ~ The Yard ~ The Garden

Don't have a lot of time this Tuesday, we have some serious work to do. Our garden has been taken over by weeds and grass. The house has been taken over by the dirties and we are having my family over this week-end. Good fun will be had by all, but not before I get busy.

As a lot of you know we have been working on our house for over a year now. Scott did a great job ~ it was a total gut, except for bath tile in one bathroom and a few pieces of trim here and there. I tried really hard to rip the nasty doors off and throw them into the dumpster whenever I could sneak them by the men, but some still remain. My sweet Uncle Dan came down from Kansas City and painted for 48 hours straight on the new cabinets, woodwork and remaining doors that I was not permitted to "gut." When I get my kitchen cleaned up ~ I will post pictures! When I get the kitchen cleaned up . . .

Here are a few pictures of the lovely bathrooms then!

The house is coming along nicely but the yard is another matter.

I threw a good fit to the dog yesterday about this yard of mine and all the dirt/mud instead of grass/sod. I gave her a chewie afterward, so she forgave me. The kids and I worked for 5 hours to cut out some ugly bushes that were growing so high you couldn't see in the windows! Here is a picture of just a FEW of the bushes we have taken out.

We are off to Lowe's for bushes and to the grain store for some cantaloupe seeds. Our gardens in the past have produced some pretty good veggies and something for the boys to do besides talk my ear off!

Have a great day! Sumer
