Progress makes me happy!!

My little garden plot is silly in the eyes of some, I'm sure but it is just what I wanted. Only tomatoes (regular and cherry), purple & green peppers, cantelope, and gourds (for the boys). I will put in a couple little rows of green beans Wednesday.

Garage building is hard work and the boys have the hardest job of all...staying out of the way. So we "hired" them as interior decorators. This is Maverick's masterpiece. It will one day be the floor in the attic. Aiden and Griffin were less zealous with their paint usage.

Here is the front of the garage with one of the windows in place. There will be another above the other door. Yippee!!!

Here is the window at the top of the stairs! We are hoping for some cross ventilation...so far it isn't helping much and we will be adding a little a/c soon.

The closet under stairs. There is a door in place now but still no walls. It is going to be a nice size for storage. To the left of the door will be Shane's work bench for his tools and such. It will be nice.

Tomorrow I am transplanting my hostas from the flower bed that will be no more when the old shed is torn down to a new bed near the house. We (by we I mean Shane) tried to till the new spot and got a little of it loosened but it is hard dirt. He is less determined to have the hostas there than I am so I am going to hack the holes out with a big shovel and move them all by myself (just like the Little Red Hen). I'll make sure there are before and after pictures....of the plants....and maybe of me...it depends on how hard it is to stand upright when I'm done. There are 2 HUGE hostas and 2 big ones. I think I'll get 12-15 plants from them when I split them all up.

I am so happy to be outside and enjoying it even though it feels like July and not the end of May. It is so hot and humid. I am determined to enjoy it anyway!!!
