What we did on our summer vacation...

We are starting this "blog" to keep people informed of our comings and goings, and providing a nice way to share info/pictures. This is one of the things we've been up to this summer:

We built a barn. Gotta have a place to put all that junk from the garage! It's nice to have, too!

This is the barn at primer stage (the date on the camera is wrong). The yard is torn up, there are holes in the ground, etc. It was not an easy task. From this stage, we put in sprinklers, painted the barn and house, and planted grass in the field. (The blue in the windows is just the backing that needs to be peeled off...they're really clear.

Some of the grass is still in the baby phase, so we can't mow yet. But, we have hope to mow this weekend!

We also made some adjustments to the house to fit better. I'll share photos of that as the jobs get FINISHED. But here is the house painted. It looks better. It still needs some adjustments (and the barn is only 2 colors, but next spring it will be 3 colors). Many of the other projects are in the "almost done" phase. Needless to say, we're tired of working around here. We're ready to hunker down in front of the fireplace and rest... read, learn, tell stories, etc. It'll be nice.
