Gardener’s Diary

The siding and new windows on the back of the house are installed, and between Ed and I, we’ve pretty much cleaned up the mess of construction materials that’s been a eyesore for weeks.
There are still some odds and ends to be completed, including reattaching the dryer vent, an oversight which I discovered last night to my chagrin.


Even though the landscapers already made a brush run and a 1 1/2 ton dump run, I’ve still been making daily trips to the transfer station.
Now that construction has slowed down, I’m starting to work on the interior. Got rid of the old falling-apart desk in the kitchen for starters.
James has been asking to go to Sea Mist for days, and I’ve been putting him off, but today I really needed some recreation (the other r, rest, is not an option with James). We swam in the outdoor pool, and for the first time, it really felt like summer.
Maintaining the theme, we topped the evening off with grilled burgers and whoopie pies.
