Summer Dwelling Tour | Identify Resources
Good Morning : )
We are a calendar month into summertime as well as already it has gone past times also fast. For us the calendar month of June was filled amongst plans, equally I knew it would be. I experience similar nosotros ran from ane obligation to the other. They were all all fun obligations (weekends amongst family, golf game tournaments, parties, opor-garai bible school, etc.), but however obligations. I'm hoping the adjacent calendar month moves a niggling slower as well as has to a greater extent than downward fourth dimension for us to actually larn into unwind mode.
We don't conduct hold whatever vacations planned, but I've been kicking unopen to some options. I dear the see of jumping inward the auto as well as but heading out to explore. We are somewhat express on that inward the Midwest, since most options are at to the lowest degree 8-12 hours away. If anyone has whatever recommendations inward the Lake Michigan/Minnesota/Wisconsin areas, I'd dear to take away heed most them. I'm envisioning a cabin/resort past times a lake unopen to a bike-able hamlet of sorts that has a practiced H2O ice cream as well as pizza spot, of course.
We are having a distich of dissimilar groups of friends staying amongst us over the adjacent distich of weeks, then I've been checking off my solid to-do's listing for the summer. I dear having guests remain amongst us - for but a distich of nights I larn to fulfill my dreams of owning a bed as well as breakfast : )
Last week, I got the invitee room spiffed up, cleaned out the closets, finally finished our laundry room project, as well as got every room (even the garage!) inward our solid inward shape. I had a long list, but broke it upwardly over the entire calendar week as well as pass a distich of hours each afternoon tackling each item. Summer tin do a doozie on our home, then it feels practiced to start out amongst a create clean slate as well as a identify for everything. I'm certain past times September, we'll last starting over again, but for now, I'll relish the extra breathing room.
Just equally I finished getting the solid ready, the hydrangeas bloomed then I took the chance to photograph the yard, equally well. I'll accept yous on a total garden tour afterward this calendar week if all goes equally planned.
I've been getting a lot of emails lately asking for a meliorate resources page for our habitation including low-cal fixtures, pigment colors, furniture, etc. So, I'm also taking the chance to add together those resources to this solid tour. Sorry if it is redundant for you, if you've been next a long for some time. If yous are novel here, yous tin run into to a greater extent than detailed tours of our habitation hither : Our Home.
Here nosotros perish :
Mike as well as I do all of the gardening as well as yard work. I relish working exterior (much to a greater extent than than working out!) as well as dear the combination of creativity, fresh air as well as physical labor involved. I fifty-fifty mow the yard. When Emma was young, in that location wasn't plenty fourth dimension inward the day. Now that she's able to entertain herself, I actually relish it. I figure if my Granny did it until she was 70, sure enough I could manage. I dear no longer depending on the yard guy's schedule - similar a shot I tin conduct hold the yard looking groovy whenever I want.
Last Summer I replaced the larger boxwoods that were inward front end of the solid amongst Annabelle Hydrangea. I added a minor boxwood hedge at the offset of outpouring that has been filling inward nicely. The Hydrangea are to a greater extent than total this year. In a distich of years, I await forwards to having a consummate boxwood hedge amongst hydrangea spilling over.
I went amongst a natural mulch this twelvemonth instead of the dark brown. Some days I am glad, others I am not. With the dark brown, I felt similar I was seeing also much mulch, I wanted it to fade into the background as well as allow the plants shine. I'm non certain what I'll do adjacent year. Thoughts?
Our bloom boxes also conduct hold minor boxwoods that I volition transplant inward the autumn somewhere inward our garden. I had to supersede them this twelvemonth after leaving them inward the boxes all winter... actually hoping I don't conduct hold to supersede every year!
Here is the DIY instructions to making these Window Boxes - such an like shooting fish in a barrel as well as rewarding project.

You may or may non notice that we've also replaced the former pic window that was inward our front end living room (the window on the left). It was novel when nosotros bought the house, then nosotros kept it inward identify when nosotros did our addition. It didn't gibe the other windows inward the house, but nosotros were trying to last efficient as well as non wasteful, since it was however a prissy window inward practiced shape. Right after nosotros moved inward (like, 2 days after...), Mike was installing the drapes inward the living room as well as cracked the window. So, after 2 years, nosotros finally had it replaced to gibe the others. I LOVE how it looks as well as wished nosotros would've done it to laid about with.
