Mission Accomplished

I said I wanted to decorate and plant and we did both of those...well, sort of...

We've decided to do our own art work (1- it's cheaper, 2-it's more meaningful). So, we hung canvases all over the house but none of them are painted. It's a little funny for now, but they'll soon be painted.

It was cold and rainy here, so the planting thing was also a little half-done. I prepped our flower box area (it's actually a 12x12 foot area - BIG flower box) because we have this unwanted grass growing in there. (Why do things always grow when you don't want them to - like waist sizes...?). Then we found this great deal on trees at a local farm and garden supply store in town, but they're still sitting in their pots outside the front door. Favorite purchase: a pair of garden clogs in a wonderful shade of green (oh, they're so fun!).

Another highlight - our furniture came yesterday! The house sure does look and feel different (it also smells a little like a furniture store, but we're working on that). We'll take some pictures (since we've been promising for a while).

P.S. - The green clogs are Joy's. Mark bought a pair of black ones...boring...=o)
