Front of our house (Before planting flowers)






After some landscaping





























There is still a lot of work for us, but the house and also the outside shows much improvement. My next bigger project is to grow some produce in my garden. Still a lot to learn for me. Hopefully, I can post picture of wonderful vegetables that have survived my not so green thumb! Carie, where are you? LOL. After reading some books that my neighbor loaned me I decided to try SFG, which means square foot gardening. Is cheaper than raised garden beds, and for a beginner like I am, easier to handle. We will see what the outcome....
Another big improvement has been our outside wood burner. The gas usage has been down a lot this winter.
Hopefully, my husband can open the skylights soon, so that I have light in my kitchen, which is the only downside in our house: no windows! Pictures will follow!

  2. LOL, I tell you what, Carie, he is overworked as is; even without another storage unit. But you could come and help me with my garden. As you know, I don't have a very green thumb when it comes to produce. Seufz! :(
