Work, work, work and no play, play, play...

Frank's been such a good sport. Every weekend for the past two months he's been working on another project we have around the house. In fact, it's 9:32 on a Friday night, and he's in the office caulking the nail marks. We've spent the last two Friday nights at Lowes. My, how things have changed. We're just a bunch of old farts now, I guess. At least our house will look great! :) The nursery is just about finished and so is the office. We're hoping to do our touch-up painting in the office tomorrow and start moving all of the furniture out of the dining room and into the office where it belongs. I can't tell you how good that will make me feel to see my dining room table again. We do usually eat on the couch in front of the tv (a habit that will change when our baby's old enough to know better, I promise), however, there are some meals that you just really need a table to sit at to eat. Like tacos...I had a hard time with my tacos on my balancing plate on my lap this week.

I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel with our various projects. This is a very good thing since we only have about 9 weekends left (or less!) to get them all finished. More nursery pictures coming soon!

Three years later, it finally bloomed!

This is too monumental not to share. Three summers ago I bought a plant at the farmer's market. The old man I bought it from threw in another plant for free. So, gladly, I took it and planted it in my yard having no idea what it was. For three years this ugly plant has grown straight up with a bunch of leaves that look strangely like marijuana leaves. We've been calling it the 'marijuana plant' for years and it's the ugliest thing in our garden. I cut it down every year and miraculously it always returns. So, not too long ago, I look out of my kitchen window and this is what I see...a big, beautiful red flower!!! So far I've seen three of these flowers and I've taken pictures of all three because I just can't believe it! I guess good things do come to those who wait. ;)
