Nom de Plume

Slowly, slowly, the house is starting to come together.

Steve lugged home a massive drill from work and carved out “bubbles” in the concrete in the backyard to plant in. He probably spent about four hours jackhammering (with the “Brute”) and another four shoveling (with the “Truper”). It was a lot of work for two little holes. Meanwhile, Mirabella showed up unannounced on Saturday to clean–and we are still marvelling that the house has never been this scrubbed…

I spent most of the time tending to my plants. Planted cauliflower and cabbage starts, cosseted my seedlings. Tonight will transplant into larger pots. I also finally sanded down the floor in the back room and put the first layer of paint down. It is going to look FAB and I feel perfectly vindicated with my choice of colors. We’re going to move the bedroom in there for the summer, and redo the master bedroom and it’s going to be so nice and cool and airy.
