Fresh Veggies

There is nothing better.   We had a pretty good sized garden this past summer.  We liked working in the garden as a distraction from all the house projects that had become overwhelming and discouraging.  We had a pretty good harvest for how little time we were able to devote to it.  Brent did the majority of the planting, watering, weeding and rodent killing.  I found and cooked all the recipes involving zucchini and yellow squash I could find.  We loved it.  Next year we have decided to triple the size, and get some chickens.  Should be interesting.

Everyone loves a "makeover"

 OK, yes, we are still alive. Just barely. We have had an entire year plus a few months of hard physical labor. We moved out of our "converted" garage and into an incomplete house in November 2010, and have been enjoying the comforts of a real house with windows, doors, heat...the works.
Here are a few pics of the progress. Still a long ways to go on the interior, but we'll chip away a bit at a time.
