There really is no place like home. And since we live hours away from some of you, I thought I would give you a little glimpse of our home. So here it is. This is our first home. Now give us a little credit, we have only lived there since December and have been RUNNING since we got there, but it is really turning out to be quite the little place. We are about 20 miles outside of town and we are only 1/4 mile from Dan's job, which he absolutely loves. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being in the country. I have no neighbors that I can see, it is so quiet, and if we let our grass get just a little too tall no one cares. I do have to say that we are very fortunate to have this nice of a house to make our first home in.
As far as improvements go, there haven't been any major ones completed (or started for that matter). But we do have lots in mind. We've done a few small things. Dan put up this hitching post. He found the wheel somewhere and had to take some parts off of it but he is pretty proud and I do have to say, not too bad for our first little landscape project. I planted mums in front of it and I am hoping they will be big and beautiful when everyone is here in September......good thinking huh!! We've got some other things in mind, but you'll just have to keep watching for those.
My little Garden! This is about the only other thing we have done outside, other than mow :). I wanted a garden for two reasons, tomatoes and cucumbers. The tomatoes have done really well. They have grown a ton since I brought them home from Orschelns. However, I think we have 1 cucmber plant that made it. This is one very not happy person as far as that goes, so I've got some more started in jiffy cups. They better make it. We did plant a few other things, remember we are rookies, but we have a row of carrots, 2 bell pepper plants, a jalapeno plant, and a row of onions. If every thing keeps doing so well I think we should have some pretty tasty salsa and a good start to a roast in the future!
