Darrel and I have been super busy since mum and dad left the nest. We have working on putting in a new door, and today Darrel is building a deck to walk out on through the door! I will pitch in tomorrow, luckily they are slugging all the concrete today without me, hee hee...

Other exciting news is that we have a flatmate. Her name is Jen and she is lovely to live with. We have all been getting along really well for two weeks now. My thoughts are with her today, because she had to have surgery on her knee. Hopefully she will be as good as new tomorrow when she gets home. I will post some pics soon of the door/deck work, I will have to show the whole projects from start to finish. Darrel is probably too busy today to take Pics. Our friend Jamie is helping because he owned a decking business. The project should take 2 full on days, if it was just Darrel and I scratching our heads over it, the timeline would have been measured in months- not days.

Other news, the gardens are bursting with fresh energy from some warm spring days! The daffodils are still blooming, and the magnolias, camellias and various fruit trees have burst for beautiful flowers. Ah, rebirth and renewal! Spring is here!!!! The deck is being built just in time!
