For one, Wesley has been working extremely hard on home improvement projects and I have been enjoying the benefits. I wish I could say I helped but I've been more on the 'moral support' side of things lately. Our kitchen is a different space from what it was when we bought the house. We painted the walls in October but otherwise it stayed pretty much the same until the past couple of months. One new dishwasher, one new disposal, five new upper cabinets where there were none before, crown moulding, and one fantastic light fixture- a gift from Wesley's mother- later and we have a good looking and functional kitchen on our hands.
*I can't find the pictures to post but will add them soon*
We have done a hefty amount of yard work in the front yard since we moved into the house. We pulled out all of the overgrown 'flowers' in the flower bed and planted 100 tulip bulbs. There was a hideous bush-tree right by the front door that I finally got fed up with and hack-sawed into oblivion one energetic day in March. I hated that tree. The root was so intense I finally just buried it and I am planning on putting a bird bath over the bald spot. We also added black shutters and painted the green door black.
Here is the yard before:
And here it is after (but before Wesley got our new lawn mower):
The car is my Dad's. He came to visit last week and we had a wonderful time. There are pictures on Facebook. There are too many to add here right now. We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, took Rt. 9 to Lake Lure, stopped by Triple Falls, and had lots of tasty food. The best was the night Wesley and Dad grilled farmer's market veggies and steak. Even Molly got a taste!I tried my best to convince Dad he needed to move up here and be Granddad. He even got a job offer! I think he enjoyed the scenery but all the talk about our awful winter we just had might have been just enough to keep him in Jackson. Regardless, we look forward to your next visit, Dad!
