We've come a long way

Well, we did it. The house is done... almost. We still need to paint the trim around the basement windows on the south side of the house but it is suppose to rain the next two days so if that doesn't get done before Caleb's graduation open house Saturday I'm not going to sweat it. We hired someone to paint the house when we bought it six years ago. He didn't do a good job at all. I thought for sure it would last more than six years. This time we painted it ourselves and already I can tell how much nicer it turned out from the previous paint job. Craig power washed the house to prep it for painting. He did such a great job that it was down to the bare cement blocks in a lot of places.
My gardens are looking nice. Hostas are my favorite!! I love all the different varities.

I spread new mulch and planted my last annuals yesterday.
Mom came over last week and helped me plant all my barrels and hanging baskets. Thanks Mom!
Even the shed got a new paint job. What a relief to have all this done. Now all I need to do is clean the house, shop for everything, cook.... Wow, I better get busy.
