The Wall

And it only took 10 years to finally get around to having it repaired! I so wish I'd done it earlier. It looks so much better when it's not tumbling down.

The Pond in Summer

A visitor to the pond. This is the first time in 10 years I've had a chipmunk in my yard. Possums, raccoons, groundhogs, skunks, squirrels, herons, hawks, and giant white lab rats, but never a chipmunk until now. Sam saw him first. We haven't seen him sense. I hope a cat didn't get him.
Creeping Jenny.
Moss on an old cinderblock. I love moss.

Painting the House

"Poetic Light" (by Freshaire at Home Depot) on all the walls, Canyon Pebble on the bookcases and kitchen parts.
The bedroom was blue. Not anymore.




The end results, still in need of tidying up. I can't bear to put any nail holes in the wall after patching each previous hole so carefully. So all the pictures and stuff are just propped up for now.
