Spring is Here

Gratuitous pictures of flowers in our yard... because I can.

Trees in bloom (with Steve's ladder in the background from the sealing-rats-out-of-the-attic project):

Little white flowers have popped up all along our walkways (somebody at some point had a gardening scheme for this place):

Orchids my grandma gave me (I especially like them juxtaposed with the construction debris in the background from the never-ending attic project):

I suppose I shouldn't say that the attic project is never-ending. Earlier tonight, after putting in many hours on previous days clearing out the last of the old, nasty loose-fill insulation, we finally put down new insulation in the section of our attic above the kitchen. Steve has been running speaker wire throughout the attic, so the whole-house sound project is moving along. Now that the insulation is put in, and thus now out of my way, I can continue my attic organization project. And there's been sporadic painting all the while. I am exhausted, but really pleased with how everything is coming along.
