Today again dawned sunny and beautiful. Ben took this picture of Rascal enjoying the sunshine.
Just for the record – this is what read-aloud time looks like. Cozy and peaceful. Extremely blessed. Right now I’m reading The Runaway by Patricia St. John. Book report to follow when we’re done with it.
Yesterday and today the kids have been hitting the watersprouts pretty hard. Today especially was a beautiful day to be in the orchard, and they all did so good and got a lot done.
This crew did a great job picking up the sprouts and loading them into the wagon. Of course they took some breaks too.
Jacob runs the operation,
and he does the lion’s share of the work as well, although the others certainly do a good job too.
I took a walk while they pruned, and I so appreciated the brilliant blue sky.
All but three of the bushes are covered now. I should’ve gotten a picture of the tile running into it – the melting snow is slowly raising the lake.
Also this week, Andy has been here working in the girls’ new bathroom. It is looking wonderful; but, on my way to take a few px of it, this caught my eye.
Pretty, huh? I’ll be glad to be DONE with construction dust for a good long time.
This cabinet was ordered for our master bath but could not be fitted into the space for which it was designed. So it got installed in this bathroom even though it’s a little tall for the low basement ceilings. I don’t think the girls will mind.
Vanity top is ordered but won’t be here until mid-April.
The shower needs a curtain rod and a curtain, and it’s ready to go. Doesn’t it look nice? Andy did a great job!
There is a little bit of trimwork to do yet here and there (baseboard, painting by ceiling, around toilet topper, vanity kickboard, windowsill), but that’s about it. Tom came and measured for carpet today; that should be in by the end of next week, so we can potentially schedule that install for the end of next week or beginning of next.
The end is in sight.
Good night.
