House Projects: April

April 15th I expanded my garden. I moved some heirloom tomato plants out a row on the far left and added two rows to the right – summer squash and watermelon. You can see the seedlings of my split peas and straight neck squash coming up nicely. The tomatoes are also growing strong.

We put up a bird house on the fence that specifically attracts blue birds. My grandfather, Pepaw, made it for me . . . and it works! Here’s a male blue bird that’s building a nest in our birdhouse.

And here is a female blue bird going into the bird house. It’s been a lot of fun to watch them!

Adam got a used cabinet from his hospital remodel (that was going to the dumpster) and installed it in our Laundry Room. The shelf area was used for a microwave in a break room – but it works great for our needs!

Adam and his dad finished installing baseboard in the hall and linen closet. I still need to caulk it.

They also started the baseboards in the garage. We’re getting there!

I finished caulking the trim and did a second coat of paint in the Jack and Jill bath. Adam installed the toilet accessories (towel bars and tp dispenser).

Adam and I painted a second coat in the Dining Room, Foyer and Office. It was a crazy weekend of baseboards and painting – but, we finished and it looks great!

I was inspired to hang pictures, etc on our walls after painting. Here is the hallway.

I hung some pictures and a mirror in the guest room.

Adam got me a new picture and we hung it over the snuggle chair in the living room.

My Mom, sister and niece came up to visit us and go to the zoo. We got a fun surprise by two Canadian geese wondering into the front yard. We fed them bread – here is Laura Jo is excited feed the birds.
