The Garden:
It grows a little more each day. The after picture is a month old now. Since this picture I have torn out the lettuce and planted winter squash in its place. The 12 pepper plants have not produced anything as of yet. A bad bug kept eating their blossoms before they could have a chance. Two nights ago I went on a bug killing rampage. The garden is no longer organic to say the least. But the bugs are gone, including a great reduction in the number of earwigs outside and inside the house, and there are 2 jalapenos growing now!!!! Here are some pictures:

| Before - Garden a few weeks old |

| After - Garden a month ago - recent pictures to come soon |
Joshua's Mother (Elisa) and Dad (Glenn) came up during the last week of June to install beautiful handcrafted, specially designed cabinets for our downstairs room. Dad did a wonderful job designing, building and installing them. We were able to help lacquer and seal and sand and wax each piece. I really enjoyed the time we had together, working and visiting. Elisa again was priceless in her helping us. She is so efficient and has long eyes to help us work through various projects such as landscaping the front yard. With their help we accomplished more in those few days than we had in the month and a half we had lived here. Here are some pictures of some of the projects:
 |
| Before - the ugly recesses in the wall next to the wood burning stove |
 |
| After - the recesses are filled with wonderful bookcases. Don't worry the book cases have been straightened up now so they look better. |
 |
| After - beautiful knotty alder wood cabinets. |

Landscapping:
 |
| After - water efficient plants. Before it was overgrown with weeds and tulips (in the early spring) | | |
