Spring is Here!

Yesterday was the first day of spring and I am so happy! To make matters better we have had a very sunny week and it looks to be a sunny week ahead! Around our house this means the work has begun. We bought our house a couple of years ago and it is so cute, but needs a lot of work. We have done a lot of inside stuff, but continue to have outside stuff to do. We were on a roll last fall with transforming an old covered patio into an open patio. Kevin and Kyle tore it down so it lined up with the rest of the house. Leaving us with a couple of feet of "porch" off of our bedroom and opening up a pretty rock area for our picnic table. We were set to finish up the work, when Kev had his accident. Since then it has been an eyesore. It is the first thing on our list to do this spring. We also have to shore up our picket fence in a couple of areas and clean up the yard from the branches and twigs that winter's wind has brought down. All of our walkways are rock and they need to be fixed in certain spots. Kevin says that we will be doing a lot of masonry. I guess I had better learn how. Kevin is definitely a do it himself kind of guy. If he doesn't know how to do something he learns how. As for the inside of the house our upstairs bathroom needs an update and I would like to have at least a new back splash in the kitchen. Our original idea was to redo the kitchen entirely, but it does not seem like we would get the money back if we ever sold the house. Needless to say, our busy season has started again. On your mark, get set, go!
