Staining the mantle

Staining the stairs

Edmund!?

We have had our fair share of "unexplained" happenings at the house since we moved in (and before). Everything from lights going on and off, vacuums turning themselves on, hearing footsteps and general noise. Last night, however, takes the cake. Our front window inexplicably shattered. No sign of someone throwing anything at it, or a bb getting shot at it. Glass was 10 feet into our front yard. Luckily we have an interior storm window that was still intact and kept most of the glass outside. So, without any other explanation we will give the credit to Edmund, our ghost!

From the road the grass looks full!

Front Yard Blooms

Roses from the front yard

The grass is slowly growing!

We planted grass seed about 1-2 weeks ago (for the second time!) and it's finally starting to slowly sprout.  Hoping the whole yard fills in.

Disaster Yard needs TLC

Pj and I are trying to make the yard look a little better. These first two photos show us trying to even out the huge lumps in the yard (from when we painted the house and drove on the lawn with the big boom lift) with dirt. We ended up having to plant two batches of grass seed because the first one never sprouted. The last three photos are of the junky backyard. There were a lot of pavers on the property so we put them to use and made a little patio.
