The Props assist the House

Until the House is built

And then the Props withdraw

And adequate, erect,

The House support itself

And cease to recollect

The Auger and the Carpenter-

Just such a retrospect

Hath the perfected Life-

A past of Plank and Nail

And slowness-then the Scaffolds drop

Affirming it a Soul

lawn

we decided to try for a lawn yet this year. we are told that it is still ok to plant at the end of the season...we shall see. the weather will need to cooperate. we decided to go with hydroseeding. so strange to have a bright green yard.

the move

a few pics from the move that we didn't get a chance to post until now.

mailbox...take two

apparently the mailman didn't like where we had our mailbox placed. we found a little note the other day stating that we needed to move it to the other side of the house on the property line. i was wondering why we only received one piece of mail(card from jen) since we put it up...they were holding our mail at the post office until we moved the mailbox. soooo, there we were last night with a shovel(which we acquired just the weekend before...good timing) digging up the mailbox post. so...for real...now, send mail. :)

sold

the move is complete...besides a few plants that are still at the apartment. we had a lot of help this past weekend which was very much appreciated!! needless to say i'm glad we won't be moving again for quite a while. between hauling boxes, furniture, putting up blinds and trying to find a place for everything, we were exhausted! i think we are just now starting to recuperate. it would have been nice if we didn't have to work this week. last night we put up our mailbox with some help from my mom & sister.

he looks worried in this picture. odd. nothing to worry about. me + big drill = perfection. ;)

we had to test it out as well. :) send mail!

official homeowners

we are now homeowners! more to come.
