Update

Jackie painted the door frame and inner door to the bathroom.  We're starting to fix the mistakes of whoever painted before us.  They were stoned or blind or both!  They painted the small bathroom a dark green including the trim and did a bad job of it.  She painted the trim and door white.  Looks better, I'll take photes tomorrow.

I transplanted my seedlings.  We'll see if they make it through the shock: coleus, Texas blue bonnets, blanketflowers, lov-lies-bleeding and the catnip.  The love-lies are so delicate, hoping they make it.  Hoping that nick gets the garden tilled under - I'll plant other plants and transfer these (these in a week).  I have foxglove and other seeds I want to plant.  It's hard to garden with my arms messed up.  It was hard enough with a bad back, now we're throwing in bad arms and carpal tunnel.  Joy. 

Jackie placed brick around the trees Nick and I planted last week, that'll keep us from accidentally weed whacking or mowing over them.

Ack - I need to post more

I have fallen down on the job of posting to my blogs badly!

Well, some current photos of the house stuff - gardening has started, some house repair and plenty of plans for the future.  Trying to knock off some of the items off the never ending list like getting matching hardware for the kitchen, including the drawers and doors that had no pulls.  Next will be sanding and painting the doors.

New floor vents and getting paint for the big intake grates that need scrubbed and hit with rust proof paint.

New plants, of course, and caring for the ones I've got coming back....

Never ends.
