I love, love, love fall. Living here in the Pacific Northwest, just makes it even better.
We got a new set of pigs and they are clearly the ugliest pigs we’ve ever seen. Usually, at this age they are still cute. They don’t get ugly until it is about the time to eat them, but these two….just ugly. (I am sure they will still taste good.)
My Loving Spouse caught another skunk. Skunks are deadly around chickens. He has dispatched 4 without incident, until this one, when there was a bit of incident. Fabreeze, let me tell you, works really, really well!
Fall means pumpkins and even though, my harvest was low, there is always enough to share.
Besides hunting skunks and feeding pigs, we’ve been diligently working on the outside of the house. I was anxious to get it painted before the weather turned. We had to fill many, many nail holes, as well as prime ceder with oil base paint, which was a pain and a half to get where we wanted and not where we didn’t.
I do not have the words for watching this addition unfold. Between it being our own design and mostly our own work, it is so wonderfully satisfying to watch it finally begin to look as we’d dreamed.
Creativity and hard work are quite possibly their own reward, and we are blessed.
Wow! Looks fantastic! Yes, those are ugly pigs but I have very good memories of yummy meals from another set!!!
We are planning on them being delicious!
House looks great! Wow! And the pigs are cute, just looks like someone hit them with some spray paint!!
Thanks, Heather! Maybe they are camo pigs
Next step finishing inside…then Pat wants to talk to you and Ed!
You going to continue the same scroll trimwork on the top corner post of your new addition? Would complete it wonderfully!
Oh, yes. My Loving Spouse has the first one cut out, then there will be window sills to ad as well, steps and porch railing to match.
The addition is looking lovely!!! You must be so proud. When do you anticipate the inside being ready for occupation???
Well…..we hope to have the pantry done this week…then waiting on cabinets to arrive, then all we need to do is put them together, paint them,etc. Maybe start using the mud room soon and move the laundry.
