Home Improvements

We have already almost completed our first change to the house and that is to put in canned lighting in the kitchen. Here are some shots of the work in progress :)

Settling In, Improvements, and my Garden

So we have been in our house for 3 weeks now and we are mostly settled. The only things that are left to unpack are obviously the things that we don't need. Random stuff that gets put in a box in a closet anyways. So we'll get to those things soon and either have a garage sale or throw a lot of junk away. We've already given 3 huge boxes of clothes to the shelters!

I have been loving my garden and my flowers. I planted tomatoes, chives, basil, cilantro, and dill and previously existing were carrots, spinach, lettuce and green onions. The lettuce is delicious I picked a bunch last weekend and used it all week. I don't want to buy produce anymore! Here are some shots of my carrots I picked tonight - look at all of them! And the rose is the first rose from my garden, it is so beautiful and smells just as good as it looks! I can't wait 'till the rest bloom.

Blackberries are growing so fast!

Look at those carrots!

I gave them a haircut and a bath. That's better!

Check out the top left carrot, it split into two :)

My beautiful first rose!
