::hands on hips:: Something needs to be done about this kitchen.

::shaking her head from side to side:: Yup, this won’t do at all.

THERE IT’S FIXED

Anyway, the tour continues:

Here we are all moved in, with bonus cat in a few pictures:
Here’s the Master Bedroom now.

Here’s the Master Bedroom from the other side.

Here’s the entry way.
My spouse is in the process of converting the area near the big window into a tea room. I’ll post that up when he’s done with it.
.
This room is a continuation of the room in the above picture. We call this room the ‘desk room’ for lack of a better designation.
.
Here’s the living room. It’s connected to the desk room and the entry way in one continuous room. I am in this picture.
.
This is the dining room now.
.
Here’s the guest room.

Here’s the guest room from another angle.
You can see some wedding pictures in this one, also this guest room smells like grandpas.

Let’s check out my flower garden:
.
Honeysuckle for the fence thingy.
.
I got 4 annuals and 4 perennials for the shaded back portion of our house, seen here:
.
The annuals are:
Clear Crystal Mix Alyssums
.
Titan Icy Pink Vincas
.
Disco Orange Marigolds. A favorite of rabbits and cicadas.
.
Madness Spring Petunias
.
The perennials are:
This thing with a long ass name that I’m just gonna call a Moonshadow.
.
A pinkish Astilbe. (AKA Left Astilbe)
.
And off-white Astilbe. (AKA Right Astilbe)
.
My very favorite, the Heucherella Plum Cascade.
.
Whole garden pic!

Now let me introduce you to my latest project:
This fucking murdered my arms and destroyed my palms. It’s gonna be a thick bed of clover one day. And in the the center of it I’m going to plant a plum tree which I’m picking up tomorrow.
.
Here’s the clover I’m planting in that circle:
I hope it cooperates.
.
It hasn’t been a good time for me mental health wise, fascist government and all. (Though other factors are also contributing.) The hope that one day I’ll be able to lay on a bed of clover in the shade of my own plum tree is giving me some precious peace of mind.
.
It’s Ramadan and one of my favorite sayings attributed to the Prophet Mohammed is, “Even if the end of times is upon you, if you have a seedling in your hand, plant it!”
.
Now I’m not a Muslim, but I like the message.
.
So um, I’ll be posting updates as I continue planting things in defiance of jackassess. And y’all are welcome to share your homes and projects too.
