The First Flowers of Spring

My bulbs are coming up! These are the very first flowers to bloom.

Talkin' Turkey

The turkeys like to come up on the deck and eat the bird seed that spills. They are cool but they leave big poops on the deck!

Guestbook

I guess I should start a guestbook on this site, since I've trailed off on the renovation pictures. This weekend I had my friend Justin, his brother Barrett and friend Jeff up for a "boys ski weekend." Here's Barrett's thank you note and a couple of pics of the "fab four":

Patti, Jeffy, J.,

That was supa-fun.

Thanks for hosting and for driving and sharing and skiing and snowboarding and drinking and hot tubbing and eating 5 desserts and eating cheese and putting up with my music and playing Muppet Uno and drinking... and drinking and having times together.

Thank you,

--Barrett

Pellet Stove

Since the house has electric heat, I was advised to get a pellet stove. You fill the hopper with little pellets that look like rabbit food (but are actually made out of wood shavings) and the pellets come down a chute and burn. I got the stove used and a ton of pellets (they come in 40lb bags and live in my shed) for a really good price. I never thought you could love a pellet stove.

Patio Door

The last of the patio doors is finally in, providing me with even easier access to the hot tub.
