What We've been up to

We've been really busy this past month. Both Eric and I have been putting in some long days at our jobs. We've done a lot of house and yard work. We've removed several large shrubs and have planted a lot of new things in the yard. We decided to hire a local contractor to finish our bathroom. We should have a nice newly remodled bathroom by the end of April! We are getting tired of this cold spring and are really looking forward to warmer days ahead.

Here is Carmen thinking: "Why are we still getting snow?"

Eric is standing on the south-facing side of the house where we removed two old-growth shrubs and some spikey yuca plants. We planted kiwi vines and strawberry plants here and hopefully we'll have some fruit this summer.


This shrub in our front yard was being taken to the neighbor's chipper. Yes, our neighbor Patricia is pregnant, as you can see.

Old neighbors and new neighbors...Andrea (our previous house mate) joined us with our new neighbors for a crepe breakfast party. We love Aunt Betsy's crepe recipe!
