It's beginning to look like a kitchen

The guys have been back the past two days. The project is starting to wind down. The new patio door was installed. The hardwood is finished. The door just needs a bit of trim work done on the interior side.




The appliances are all in place, if not yet turned on.


I have under cabinet lighting!

Garden talk

Between the wedding and the kitchen, I have pretty much neglected the garden this year. I threw down some preemergent and then sprayed the lawn with a weedkiller/fertilizer combo. Other than pulling a few weeds and mowing, I've done nothing else. I made it outside today. It is glorious out there. Warm and sunny without being too hot and humid. My peonies will bloom any day now. The irises are starting to rev up. Some of these were planted last year and are finally blooming.
