A remodel distraction


Since we're sort of in a holding pattern on the upstairs, here are a few pics from the backyard garden. How nice and relaxing is this scene? We need to finish up those stairs and plant some lush greenery along the fence.


Blueberries! Almost ripe enough to pick. Of course, the rhubarb is encroaching.


Look at those Hops! Can't wait to pick them and make a hops pillow this year. I'll be falling asleep to the smell of hoppy beer.


And here are the embarrassing tomatoes. Yikes! No sun this summer.


Three red little grape tomatoes is all I need.


Micro-lettuce! These starts got off to a bad start. But now they're trying to grow...we picked some tonight and had a wonderful salad. It's almost time to plant a fall crop.

And below is the famous rhubarb... I picked some last weekend; only three stalks as suggested online. Apparently any more than that would be too traumatic. So I'm done with you rhubarb. Have fun tiny little black bugs...it's all yours!


So that's it for now. We're waiting for the electrician next Saturday. Everything is read to go, including a list of wants/needs. Should we put a X-mas lights switch in the closet upstairs? We'd never have to run extension cords and plug in lights in the snow!
