{almost} Done!

Oh, my aching body!

The day before yesterday, we finished the front of the house

with body paint and trim {except the eaves}.

We were determined to get that iron up!

That was the iron piece that I found on CL 

that came off an old Victorian.

I'd say it was worth the $50 and an hour drive!

The curved trim above the window

was not there ever.

Bruce did an amazing job (as usual)

making that trim piece.

Up and down the ladder a bazillion times 

makes for a great workout.

We had planned to add shutters 

but since the windows are trimmed out,

we decided against it.

Trim boards to be added where the arrows are

and I planted two climbing roses on the right 

side of the pop out.

Next weekend we're having some

tractor work done to level all the humps and bumps

so we can either re-seed or sod

then, it's serious business for me...

gardening!

 

 These little white flowers are so cute.
I think it's Monkey Grass. Too cute to cut

 (although I desperately want to trim around my roses).

It was been fun watching all of the surprise pop-up flowers.

And the Wisteria is just starting to bloom.

I'll be going around snapping photos of that.
Truly a sight to be seen because it is
everywhere! So happy to see it growing
in our backyard trees!

We have loved the surprise of every season

since we've been here.

I think our house is smiling now.

She sure is purdy. 

Now, on to the next project!

See ya soon,

Amber
