What's my excuse?



Wow..my last post on this blog was July 4th. That's bad! I do post more regularly on Terra Nova Design if you want to click over there but still.... I should have posted on here a few times over the summer. What's my excuse? Well, around mid-July I began helping Jess & Ben pack and get set for their move to their first house! Once they officially bought it and over the month of August we began daily work (in between our jobs) on their house. We did a lot of cleaning and demo and tons of painting. Then there was the clearing of over grown land and the beginnings of new gardens. Yeah...that is where the summer went. They are still building a dormer and doing many different projects but they are living there now and we are all busy with work and teaching so the progress is slow but sure. It will be a great little place with a wonderful view (!) when they are done. Here's a shot of them and their place. They are standing in what will soon be the study/art room, sticking their heads above the old roof line. In this location now there is a big dormer which will have a 6' wide west facing window. Also is a picture of my own stream and garden here at Sweetside. Yes, the stream is "done." There's always more that can be done but it looks just the way I dreamed it.
