Parquet Be Gone!

This is what the dining room looked like the day we made an offer to buy our house.

We pulled up the old parquet and sub-floor (notice there is no arch in the back right).

The arch is now in and Craig has screwed down and leveled all but one section of the floor.

JB wasted no time getting comfortable on the new floor.

Spring is Here and I Love Spring

 This is my favorite part of the yard. This past week we put in a new retaining wall (you can see it in the background). I'm going to plant rose bushes there in a few weeks when Craig's dad and stepmom are in town.

Looking back on my favorite side of the house; the azelas cannot bloom fast enough. (Is it me, or did everything bloom late this year?) The new retaining wall looks cool too, huh?

This is my favorite flower at the house. I will post a picture when it blooms. It's stunning.
