GETTING THERE
Kitchen cabinets are looking great, and just wait 'till that granite top goes on, it's going to be marvelous.

WINNING THE BATTLE IN MONTANA
We may not be winning the war against the toadflax weed, but we are winning some battles. The wildflower population has visibly increased in the last 3 years as a result of our hand picking and some spraying of the weed. The top 2 pictures are actually flowers in our garden, the others are wildflowers.
BROWN PATCHES IN MONTANA
Our long weekend in Montana was great, but also filled with hard labor; spring cleaning, deck staining, and hardest of all, lumberjack work. The pine beetle infestation is killing many trees, punctuating mountain sides with ominous patches of brown. But this is nature at work, and we can only hope this is part of the balance that will benefit us in some ways in years to come
The new open look of the southwest corner of our house with 15 less trees. We actually think we'll like having the view that was previously blocked by the trees. Notice we still have several dead trees to take down when we go back in July.
Getting rid of this pile took 3 trips to the dump. Mama Linda and I teamed up perfectly; I felled and chopped the trees and she piled them up for hauling. We then hauled them together to the dump
Hard labor can be fun...once in a while, not full-time

We've been a little busy, so this posting shows pictures from 5/21/09, the day before we went up to Montana for Memorial Day weekend. This is a potpourri of the latest highlights.
