Spring, maybe?

Well, have been quite busy for the past few days, and I could not possibly write on my blog recently because the SUN has been out, and I thought that I had better try to take full advantage of that, since I can barely remember it from last year. (And they are predicting SNOW again for Tuesday!!)

Most of the projects around my house have now been completed:
The roof has been rebuilt, 2 chimneys removed, land cleared for my back yard, sod installed, beds remade & planted, pool fence installed, perimeter fence put up, brick wall taken down, 6 trees removed, blinds in 2 main rooms so that the neighborhood cannot look it at all hours, several pool equipment issues have been fixed, drain installed so that the driveway does not flood, awnings picked and ordered, and pressure washing complete.

Just so that I do not get too lonely without contractors around 24/7, I DO have a couple items still to be worked on....
Pool deck repainted, pool filter replaced, fountain made operational (although I am not quite sure why anyone needs one) and finally the repainting of several rooms inside the house that received a LOT of water damage while the roof/chimneys work was being done.

I hope I grow to LOVE it here, because I could have purchased a small house for what has been spent!

Have I Mentioned that I HATE winter......


Well, barely made it home yesterday before the blizzard arrived. It was snowing November 30th in Dallas before I moved, now it has rained or snowed every day since....
Well, maybe not really every day, but it sure seems that way. It is the middle of February, and one would think, being in SC, that we would be safe from blizzards. (Unless you would choose to BUY one at Dairy Queen)

Here is a beautiful photo of my yard.

I can't wait for spring!!
