Fall comes to the Cedars

It has been so long

since I have shared any house news

so long.

It has been so dreary and dark and wet 

around here

that I could not even go out to the house

much less get any work done.

A few days ago,

the sun came out for a couple

of hours in the late afternoon

and I drove myself 

out there to bask 

in the loveliness.

I was so excited to be there 

I did a little

happy sunshine dance

and then took some pictures

to remember 

the day.

It was so lovely 

I didn't want it to end, 

but end it did.

The sun went down.

Since I am blog dislexic,

(and apparently can't spell either,)

I will show you some of the pictures

that I took before the sun went down...

While I was darting around

taking pictures and 

doing the happy sunshine dance,

my persistent husband

was busy at work

getting the front of the house

ready for stucco and stone.

He built the pillars out front

and let me tell you

it was not an easy task.

They turned out beautifullly

or ...

they are beautifully turned out.

anyway,

here 

they 

are.

Today I hope to start staining the

last of the cedar accent boards that will 

grace the front of the house before

stone will be applied.

Isn't she looking sweet?
