More lazy summer days...

Since I really don't have a yard to showcase

I've decided to steal some peaks

from those around me...

The occupied home in my MIL backyard

A visitor in our front yard...

Baby bird learning to fly

Beautiful Blue Hydrangea

Add aluminum to the soil for BLUE

But really there's more to it so check out this link

to get all the scoop about Hydrangea Color Change.

Around the neighborhood

YUM!

An apartment building downtown. I sure missed

the brick and turn of the century homes while

living in the desert the last 14 yrs.

There's so much to share from our

quaint town that originally started as

Spokane Falls. Next week I'll be venturing

out to town again so hopefully I'll capture

some interesting things to share.

Stay tuned....

Yarn is Unpacked!!

Yea! The house is livable!!

I'm loving my white cabinets!

The stove has been installed again

and the microwave moved to a small

table to give more counter space; eventually

we'll install a new stand alone range with

a built in microwave.

I'm happy to say my yarn has been unpacked and things

are slowly finding a home. I'm back to surfing
my blogs and ready to pick up my hooks and needles!

Hip hip hooray!!!

Now to figure out where I left off...

In the meantime my one and only flower

has bloomed out front. We had a guessing game

of what color will the lily be??? and the answer is...

WHITE!!

I was also able to cut some roses from my FIL's
yard and aromacise the house! YUM!!

Luckily we didn't miss the blooming Lilac's too!

And then there was time at the lake...

So now it's time to start the creative juices flowing;
too many things to do and so little time, LOL!

Looking forward to hanging out again
and checking out all your wonderful creations!

Thanks for stopping by everyone...
Cheers! ~M

Unexpected House Makeover

Welcome Home Duncan's

What a nice surprise from our

2nd Family (Shawn, Jordan, Wally & Diane).

Thanks!! We love you all! :)

How about a look at the house...

Well it was quite the surprise when we showed up

and found the house in this condition. Unfortunately the prior tenant (family member) needed to be evicted because we suspect drug abuse. Hmm! I think we're right on that one, lol. We only expected to clean the house before moving in but as you can see, it needed a whole new makeover. We've now been working on the house for almost a month and wait until you see the difference.

More pics coming soon!

As for the road trip up north...everything went fine and

obviously we made it safe and sound!

The weather has been hit and miss but

definitely much cooler than the desert, lol.

When we left Phoenix the end of May it

was already in the high 90s and now a

month later they're reaching 113º YEOW!

Spokane has been in the high 60s low 70s with

rain off and on. It's been a nice change.
