Sorry so long...

Since I've posted. There has been work done and there are photos. But, we have started moving boxes and things in and now I really don't know where anything is. Including my card reader.

We have all the bedrooms and the floors finished. Most of the trim is done. Windows still need work. But, most of the things that would be a big pain if there were furniture in front of it are done.

But, things I can share are all outside the house. I am really exited to be moving into an established neighborhood with mature landscaping. The landscaping needs some attention, but there are some surprises that are coming this spring. To my great delight, we have trees that bloom in the spring. Yay! It's such a treat to be over there and look into the back yard and see pink or white trees all a bloom.

There are also some bulbs that are now blooming. Some daffodils in some of the front beds. But the biggest surprise came from what I noticed trying to bloom around an old metal trash can that has been outside on the side of the house. I don't know why the trash can is there. We get a huge green plastic one from the city. The metal one looks just like what Oscar the Grouch lives in. Anyway, one day I was walking in and looked down to see some purple-ish blue flowers trying to come out. They were hyacinths!!! Amazing! I love hyacinths! They are gorgeous and smell amazing. One of my favorites. The poor things didn't make it through the snow and torrential rains, but it's a good sign of things to come. I'm sure of it.

So, I'm looking forward to seeing what else comes out in the yard.
