Highlights from the Week

I have helped our literacy department do inventory all week. That has left little time to do much around the house. Thursday I had our little teacher group from school over for brunch and mimosas. We had a great time visiting. We have tried to get everyone together a few times over the summer.

Lilly was assuming her usual position on the couch when I noticed three of her bottom front teeth are gone. I have no idea what happened. She didn't seem to be in pain and her gums didn't get infected, so I guess all is well.
Sunset Friday night was gorgeous! I can't wait until we build Kev's shop and have a deck on the back overlooking the pasture. It's always a pretty view.

My new boots I ordered!!They are back ordered until September, but  I can't wait to get them!!
Sunday I did a little freezer cooking. Hamburger meat was on sale, so I took advantage. I also made a batch of homemade cream of mushroom soup. I'm in love with this stuff and it is so easy to whip up.

Veggie stock made with all the leftover veggie scraps I have been saving.
I used the basil from our garden to make pesto. I have never made it before and it is wonderful. I froze it in an ice cube tray for easy use later.
That about sums up our week. Of course Kev worked everyday. I ready for the hail storm damage to be over with so I can see my husband again, but I am liking the money it is bring in.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
