Growing Season

It's spring.  It's growing season.  And our house is getting taller.  It's finally taller than a concrete slab.  Neta and I drove out to the farm today (Monday) and found a wall!

Guest bedroom (front) and Master bedroom (back).

Where the headers are will eventually be nice, tall windows.  Other framing awaits its debut.

Feel free to look through our bedroom windows...for now.

That's not the only thing growing.  Our garden is doing well.  It's flourishing in soil that hasn't been planted for decades and has been enriched over the years by lots of goat manure.

Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumber, Eggplant, Artichokes, Okra, Corn, Pumpkin, Watermelon,
Cantaloupe, Mango, Avocado, Sunflower, Zinnia, other flowers...you know...the basics,

Another angle...just to make sure.

Picking time!

Our first produce!  Neta is so happy!  We've never had our
own veggies this early in the year.

UPDATE (Tuesday):  This blog is being written over multiple days because we felt bad about not having much, words or pictures, from yesterday.  Today...this!  The cabin has a bright, red door.

Is that an Elizabeth Arden Spa?

Actually...two red doors!

Terrell should have no problem finding home.

The walls and ceiling have been painted as well as the trim.

They look greenish gray, but trust me...they're light gray...almost like fog.

Turning our attention further down the road...

I see a house...almost

They have the four exterior walls up, along with some interior walls.  It's so nice to see progress after the slab sat idle last week due to weather delays.

The whole enchilada...exterior...downstairs.

The kitchen...looking out over the blueberries and woods.

The view from the carport.  Those windows along the front and far side will be huge!

So there you have it.  We've got a framed out (mostly) first floor.  We are finally starting to "see" our house as we walk around the rooms and start visualizing furniture and appliances.  The excitement is slowly starting to build.
