Garage

The car is in the garage for the very first time! It took 6 hours to organize and build shelving. We have a TON of stuff

Flip

2nd coat

Still needs 1 more!

Let's do another before/after

We've come a long way

Still have lots to do before we put it on the market but we are finally getting to the fun part!

House color sneak peek

Before: faded blue grey
After: charcoal grey with a subtle shine

Deck painting

Almost done- some sanding & touch ups left. Befores on the left, afters on the right!

Long great productive weekend of fun, family, & house work. I even got the entire front and side bottom half painted ALONE! Sierra replaced the trim in some yucky spots.

His fathers day gifts consisted of a golf club, a grill, a 28 foot ladder, and a hard working family! My dad raked our hay where we replaced the fence and reseeded and mom painted the fence rail ( I did 2 coats of primer yesterday on them- this deck had not been tended to or cared for ever).

Mowed

Yesterday evening, I mowed the lawn for the first time!

Prudence

We had a very sweet (and big!) snapping turtle in our yard last week. I kept trying to "shoo" her back to the river, but she kept walking around the yard insistent she be there. I went up to sit on the deck and observe, and she continued to walk towards me. Very slowly, making eye contact with me. Right in the middle of our yard, she stopped and dug a hole and laid eggs right there! I got her a plate of lettuce, carrots, and raisins and placed it right by her mouth (she was gentile and tired from her long walk and egg laying). Nia named her prudence. She was quite sweet.

Rain

All this rain is good for one thing ONLY. Growing grass.
