Putting Wallpaper On The Ceiling?








I gather it's a lot easier on a wall. The most interesting part of the job was the glue - when we squeegeed the paper, the exceess glue would spill out on our hair or hit the floor with a sound similar to a cow pissing on a flat rock.

OK, this is a little more serious


rilly!

silly


That's monster zucchini in the garden.

Outdoor Plans

Our meager estate.
Stare long enough and to the left of the garage a larger vegetable garden will appear (this year we're gonna put Michelle Obama to shame). With a little luck and time, a patio, trellises, and arbors, too.

Somewhere in all of this we're gonna get married, too.

Construction At the MomCat Inn

My parents live in a 180-year old farmhouse north of Syracuse, NY - one my mother lived in (and was born in) when it was her family's farm. Now it is surrounded by houses and streets, and in need of a new roof.







Wow, would I like to be there swinging a hammer.

Color Scheme For the Dining Room

Here's the color scheme and layout that we picked for the dining room (Jennifer made the picture). That will be what the largest wall will look like, the one you see with the newspaper on it in the photo posted earlier.

The dark color is called Merlot and the white trim is Ivory.

Scenes (I know Cogs hates this stuff)

This is the Fishkill, near the cat sanctuary.
Sunset near Garrison.
