I’m pretty much down to putting finishing touches on the house. I have most of my pictures up on the walls. Though, there are a few I still need to hang, but those are the ones that belong in my bedroom, the guest room, my office, and the master bath.

I know, it sounds like a lot.

My next major project is to have the bath tub in the master bath removed and replace it with a large shower with a bench. I’ve begun looking at tile.

While looking at tile I am also thinking about the next project after the shower and that is the sun porch floor.

Spring will mean landscaping, raised beds for veggies, and some deer resistant trees.

Yes, we had a deer in the yard the other night. They grow them big around here. The doe was quite large.

Lucy, is a city dog. The scent of a deer in her yard was something quite new to her. I’m sort of glad she didn’t see it when it was in the yard. I can picture me being dragged off my feet and her raising hell at two a.m. We’d not be high on our neighbors’ list of favorites.

I think sometime next fall or so I’ll have new counter tops put in. The ones I have are okay for now, but they are Formica and they aren’t new.
