Now that the floors are finished, and rosin paper has been put down to cover the floors while we move in, the house is ready to receive belongings. So now every time I go I take SOMETHING --- today I took many blankets and put them into the new hall blanket chest. I've also been shopping for a few small items like dish towels and potholders.
Well two exciting things happened today. The yard was graded and seeded, and the screens were installed in the house. I have several photos of the yard. We are just hoping that Hurricane Irene doesn't produce a drenching downpour that washes all the seed away.
Two workmen are washing the windows in the sunroom in this next picture.
And this captures a mundane but still exciting thing ---- with the bobcat machine that was here to do the yard work, they pushed out the ugly tree stump that has been in the circle the last few years ---- the tree fell down about 5 years ago --- or more? It's nice that it is gone!
The builder had placed a big bag of grass seed on a shelf in the hutch/sideboard on the eating porch. I had cleaned it a couple of days ago, but noticed that mouse droppings were appearing overnight each night. Well, mystery solved: they were eating the grass seed! Now the seed is gone and three traps have been set, so hopefully we will soon be rid of them.
