Busy Weekend

It was a busy weekend at our house! We actually had two nice days in Duluth, so Eddy and I took advantage. We scraped and stained out upper deck and stairs. The lower deck will be done after the railing is re-done (Eddy's early bday present from his parents!). Wish I would have taken a "before" picture!


Eddy decided to rip out the half-dead cedar shrubs in front of our front window. We had taken out the ones on the edge last summer--deer have destroyed them. I bought some new shrubs (supposedly that the deer don't like) and we put them in, as well as redistributed the rocks. I put in some petunias that should cascade down the window box. Again, no "before" picture, but it still looks good!


Isaac and our neighbor friend had their first lemonade stand of the season! They were selling iced tea this time. Isaac adores his friend, and it seems to be mutual.


Last but not least, I've been able to French braid Piper's hair! I get her to sit still by telling her how pretty it looks!
