Gardening

We haven't been up to that much worth photographing. I've been working on a roman shade for the kitchen. The third fabric with birds on it for this new place. Clearly birds are the theme. Speaking of birds we hung the owl house and a new (second) birdfeeder!

We also got a hammock! This required 230942309482 trips to Academy. First price hammock, then buy hammock, then realize hanging between two trees won't work. Then buy hammock stand, find out hammock stand that reputes to fit most hammocks does not. Return small hammock stand. Buy larger hammock stand. Return large hammock stand because it is missing a part. Get another hammock stand and open the box in the parking lot to ensure all parts are there. I hope to not go back to Academy for like 4 years. I've over that store.

I also finished painting the kitchen wall. I'll have to wait until the weekend to hang the new roman shade because I have to take down the mini blinds and paint over the dark maroon paint (currently covered by the mini blinds) that was in the kitchen when we moved in and let it dry and then hang the shade!

Gosh you are probably wondering why I'd want to change this. It's so light and airy!
Barring rain, we are getting a new roof this weekend! Hip hip hooray. And they will be installing two tube skylights. One in the kitchen and one in the guest bath. Which is so hideous we don't go in there. (That renovation will start after the kitchen is done).

Hmmm dark peach tile with light pink tile floor. Lovely.

So I was complimenting my neighbor on her gorgeous camillas and she started picking flowers like crazy and also gave me like 12 geranium stems to repot. The camillas are so beautiful! I took cuttings and used my rooting hormone. I hope hope hope they take!

 These are my herbs!

 This is where my vegetables will go this year. I'm going to keep it small year 1.

That's the double kitchen window!
