Molding

8:24 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
My dad and I bought a bunch of molding last week - baseboards, the "chair rail," and some casing for the doors. I started painting the "chair rail" molding on Sunday and have completed 2 coats of paint. This molding will be going up on the walls where the wall color meets the ceiling color. The remaining painting, and then installing, of the molding is on the To-Do list for this coming weekend.





First Fruits...or, um...Veggies

My first veggies finally ripened a few weeks ago. The first ones to be picked were a green bell pepper, a cucumber (it's yellow...don't know why, it just is) and a squash. I'm not sure what type of squash it is, but it's a squash none-the-less. Although I only ate the bell pepper from the first picks (the cucumber seeds were a little tough...and I just wasn't sure about the squash), I have since eaten another cucumber I've picked and a tomato. We just picked a few more tomatoes tonight as they are finally starting to ripen (there are a bunch more currently green)! I also have a basil plant that I have used a lot. It's so much fun to just go to the backyard to pick things to cook with!
