Update, Perhaps?

Well, we've been moved about a month now. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE it here!

We're already getting started on the "farm" stuff....like bees. ; ) (beside our peach tree, which was here when we came.)
But the plum and pear trees are new....as is the apple tree I thought was in this picture, but must be just outside the frame.

This was my view this morning.

I simply adore this mountain. When we were house-shopping I *knew* I would live somewhere near this mountain. Everywhere we looked that was out of sight of it felt VERY not-right. Now I can see *my* mountain every morning...and I enjoy it so! Our bedroom windows face the mountain, and I wake up early almost every morning and watch the sun rise over the mountain.

I bought asparagus crowns today....couldn't plant yet because I need to go back to the old house to get some compost, but I have them and have their trench ready. I really wanted to go ahead and plant them so I wouldn't be wishing in 5 years I had. ; )

We've been working on the house, fixing this and that.....DH put the new front door on Sunday, and I felt SO spoiled getting a beautiful new front door that *I* picked out just because I wanted it. : )

He's fixed the kitchen up awesomely, too...for me. And I got to have the final say in EVERYTHING! Placement of counters, counter material, even placement of electrical outlets! I will put up before and after pics when it's finished completely...he still has to build in the pantry...but it already looks SO amazingly much better than it did when we bought it!

I cleaned out one side of the attic the other day...it's a space on both sides of the upstairs rooms...thought I was going to DIE! I swear, that attic hadn't been cleaned since the house was built. I found a cool newspaper from 1959, though. ; )

We thought we were going to have to put floors down up there, but under all the stuff...insulation and cardboard....there was already a floor there! We spent the $$ we would have used on the wood for a new water heater.

I decided to decorate the kitchen with crocks. It's different from anyone else's kitchen that we know of, and I already have lots of crocks that need places to live. I'll post pics of those, too, when the kitchen is finished.
