Spring is in the air!! I hope..... At least the sun is out!
I spent a lot of this past week thinking about the garden, researching how to build raised beds. We are thinking about an apple tree for the front and some concord grapes, along with a veggie patch. Super fun. I have a new job, so am enjoying the walk to work, imaging the future outdoor space. We are a bit stalled, needing to cue up some work in the back bathroom. They have, in the meantime, installed the patio door. :) I love it, really brings the outdoors in. I added a before and after picture. In the after, you can see Abe through the patio door, trying to shove out the BBQ. So much snow. A small project in comparison, but I needed to hand a curtain in a weird little alcove in the middle bedroom. Custom curtain rods are expensive, couldn't bring myself to pay for one. And so, I went to the hardware store and bought a copper pipe ($6) and two elbow joints ($10). With the help of my trusty handy-person Abe and his pipe cutter, we had it installed in under 10 minutes. Looks a bit rough but not too bad, does the trick. Hopeful this coming week, everything falls into place and we move forward!
