We're Getting There

Stepping outside, all I hear is a symphony of bird calls. It’s wonderful.

In between rain showers, our sons have managed to get the grass cut (a 4 hour job here), the picnic table is in the process of getting scraped, sanded, and refinished, the garden has been tilled, and the back deck has been cleaned off.

We’re still a long way from having everything ready though. Pots sit empty, waiting to be filled with new herbs. The garden awaits planting with vegetables and flowers. And I can hardly wait to bring out the folding chairs for the back deck. But patience is called for here.

Luckily, we have this hanging fuchsia which is giving us encouragement. It is starting to blossom!

We are getting there… just as this fuchsia has finally begun to blossom.
