Our House

One of the many blogs that we started but never posted anything about, was a blog about our cute little house. About two and half years ago Chris bought a fixer-upper and we have had a lot of fun creating a small corner of the world for us.

Needless to say, we made quite a few changes.

My first poppy bloomed.

I'm also working on a little herb garden in our kitchen window.

Our big project this summer is working on the backyard. We are in the process of cutting down a large tree to clear space and allow sun for fruit trees.
