No Time for a Breather

We have been so crazy busy lately - but in a really good way. This weekend we travelled to Knoxville, TN for our friend's wedding. It was great seeing her pledge her life to the man she loves, but it was one heck of a drive - our whole trip was right at 14 hours, and the wedding and reception combined was less than 2 hours of that... That's a really long day!

Yesterday, Sunday, we got the yard leveled out in the area where we're getting our storage building installed. We also planted some flowers and borrowed a family member's truck to go get lots of lumber for our next project - building a frame for our porch swing. We're not doing the simple A-frame. We are doing a much larger frame, and putting lattace on it to have morning glories, roses, etc., grow up it. So, it's part porch swing, part arbor.

This morning, at 7:00 (around 34 degrees) we started working on the porch swing. It's huge - I'll try to remember to post a picture when we're done. Z is at Lowe's right now getting two more pieces of lumber so we can finish.

The guys to install the storage building are here now (now it's about 47 degrees and the sun is in the yard) and they're working awfully fast - we'll probably be moving all the tools into it by night fall.

So glad this is a long weekend!
