the sun is out and it’s 70 degrees. know what this means? i’m already way behind on all my spring projects for the house.

i’d post more flower pictures, but you can see them below.

yes, the tulips are starting to come up in the yard!

no, it’s not “springtime for hitler,” but the yard is coming alive with color.

last weekend we had one amazing day of weather (saturday). like, upper 60s and sunny. i took advantage of this to clean up the yard, re-cut some landscape edges, do some random work in the front. but the big news, is that i smashed my finger with a hammer.

okay, smashing my finger was not good, especially not for how much it bled. (it’s getting better). but what i was doing at the time, was installing the last piece of lattice on the deck. finally had good enough weather to put another coat of paint on it.

will try to get pictures this weekend. now all i have to do is put together the “gate” at the end of the deck, and it’ll be 100% done.

… and it sounds like i’m out of practice with swinging a hammer. this summer will surely fix that.

fine, mom requested a picture of nora on the new chairs.

they’re from La-Z-Boy and they’re called Fletcher.

these replaced the enormous blue denim furniture that really overwhelmed our tiny little house.

yes, i’ve been procrastinating. here’s the new color of the house!

remember, the under-porch area isn’t painted because we’re going to enclose it and make a back hallway between the kitchen and the laundry room.

that’s hopper in the window!
