Spring at last!!!!

Spring is finally upon us and I find myself diving from one project into another. I really wish I had the mind to complete at least one of them before starting new, but what would be the fun in that!!

Mother's Day came and with it came a dream of mine- my very own grape arbor. It came out better than any store bought one, bigger, and cheaper!!


Best part- built by my wonderfully talented, and patient husband. Isn't it wonderful!?!?! All cedar, cemented in and ready for grapes. We used THIS as a guide to help us with materials. Be sure to shop around for lumber too, we had some outrageous quotes of way over $500 for all the materials. In the end the entire thing cost right around $180.

I've also decided to overhaul the screened in porch. I began the process of staining it today, as well as adding a color pop to the doors.


Now to finish planting the vegetable garden, to finish the expansion to the side perennial bed, and actually get some of my on going paint projects done.
