No More Fence

Paul and I decided to show off Grandma's peonies and take down the chain link fence that faces the street.

Getting Rid Of an Eyesore

One of the biggest was our garage which had been covered with a bright blue tarp which was keeping everything inside the garage dry.
So we bought some tar and roofing paper to perform a temporary, but better, fix for the leak.

Two pairs of pants, two t-shirts and one pair of tennis shoes (yeah, I called them that Laura!) were sacrified for the cause.

The man and woman of the house are quite proud of their efforts.

All done!

Wow

Our flowers are pretty.

Another Beauty

Paul and I stopped at the train station to get a better view of the sunset tonight.

Finishing What I Started

Two years ago I got the bright idea to start painting the house. Paul warned me that I was biting off a bit more than I could chew...but I was stubborn. This is the way the front has looked since then.

Today I got off my duff and did some work. We are trying to figure out how we are going to get to the top, and since both of us are afraid of heights, this should be interesting.

(paul's note... and here it is before that:)

No Frost Here/Hiking Pics

yay!

Since it pisses off some people (Chris) when I post my hiking pictures here (fairy-ass hippy nature shit) I will post them elsewhere in:

Jardin du Vaclav

Grandma's peonies are coming back.
The front yard woke up.

We took a chance and planted the vegetable garden early. As I write this there is a freeze warning in effect for the area. We'll see.


There is a story in my family that my great-grandfather Domachowski took a chance one year and planted the crops early. There was no more frost that spring, the crops flourished, and he was first to market, raking in enough money to pay off the farm.

I should have stayed on the farm, I should have listened to my old man. (Bernie Taupin, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road )
