Digging in the dirt…

If you've read my blog long, you know that our front yard is not usual. We don't have grass but instead have trees and bushes and flowers and rocks. One of my bushes got big and took over a path. Monday morning Steve and I made it wider. And we cut back the bush.

I need to add the pea gravel between the stones which won't take long, I just need to do it. And I need to scrub the tile around the waterfall in the pool. And you thought all I did was quilt all day!

In other news: Mom has found a house! It is on our street – she and Christy will be 5 houses away. It's cute little house, solidly constructed and in very good shape. That said Steve and I will spend most of July and the first part of August working on it. There are popcorns on all the ceilings that have to go, wallpaper that will come out, new paint because they like new color, and we'll put in laminate flooring throughout. There is some outside work to do, but not a lot. As we work on it I'll post photos.

The lady who owns the house is very nice and has really taken good care of it. She is happy to be moving on with her own adventure. Her house was not even on the market but I knew she was wanting to sell it. All in all I think it was meant to be. I'm not going to show a photo of the house until mom closes on it. I'm only a little superstitious.

  1. Great that your Mom has found a house so near you! Your neighborhood looks like a great place to live. Drove by the end of the street going from campus to Olive Garden!
