New House Construction

Garden Self Portrait

Taking a bit of an artistic license with naming this Garden Self Portrait…

But, see?? There I am in the bottom left corner. Hm, maybe I should title this Self Portrait by Shadow?

Anyway, see SuperGuy’s truck up there in the background? That’s going to be our garden :heart: I cannot wait. It’s right behind the house in a big old clearing. An expensive big old clearing…(we had to have a swampy lagoon cleared and filled in). I’m hoping to have some beds in and a fence around it in time to get in a fall crop. We’ll see.

This’s and Thats

Hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day. We sure did. Had a BBQ here…had to put up the pop up canopy to get some shade in the nasty heat! Do you have one of those? About $99 from Walmart, but we use it all the time. Easy to put up and take down. Use it for shade, rain protection, and when we go to the beach. Facetimed with my youngest, and I’m still not sure my parents knew what was going on with that.  Anyway the party started at 1pm…the stragglers left about 6:30pm. Fabulous. Thanks to my oldest for staying and helping us take everything down and put things away. You are my favorite.

And, weirdly…I took not one photo. Not. One. So not like me.

A few updates on construction on our new place. Not much happened the last few weeks. We did get yet more cement poured. Here is our stamped concrete front porch. Isn’t it pretty? I love how it looks like old weathered boards. Will fit in with my farm house/seaside cottage feel that I’m going for.

So worth it. I got this:

Anyway, if you want to follow along on some of the inspiration I’m getting for our Columbia house, feel free to follow my COMO House board on Pinterest. We have lots of decisions left to make. I’m sure I”ll be asking for opinions, because, you know, I’m like that.
