We are finally moved!

It's been a while since my last blog post, so here's the update on me.

We finally got moved.....I can't remember the exact date, but it's been a few weeks. Settling in has been a process. I'm having to develop a whole new routine, which is crucial for me. I feel out of sorts when I don't have one.

The house is totally unpacked and I think everything is pretty much in it's place. I have redone the kitchen and dining room. They are sort of together, separated by cabinets. I've painted the dining room and one wall of the kitchen a "golden marsh"....the other two kitchen walls are painted "late tomato". They are really pretty together and much better than the burgundy and odd shade of green that the previous owner had. We also changed the light fixture there. It was a wagon wheel that the previous owner did herself. I bought a really pretty black iron ivy-type fixture which Andy promptly put up for me.

I've taken down the "fishing" border in our bathroom and replaced it with a really pretty "lily" border. The spare bedroom, which is also my office, will remain lavendar with it's bright, flowery border. I kind of like it....it's a whimsical girly room.

We've also been doing a lot of yard work. I've planted geraniums, marigolds, petunias, lavendary, Mexican heather, etc. etc., etc. We are having a patio poured today. We originally were going to build a deck, but the patio seemed cheaper and easier. I can't wait until it's finished.

And we've adopted a new dog. Her name is Daisy and the vet tells me she has no idea what she is! LOL Definitely a "Heinz 57". She's a great dog...stays right by the house. She and Sidda play together pretty well. And yes, Sidda is loving country living. No more leash when she goes outside. Although if I don't keep my my eye on her, she ends up at the pond and comes back a muddy mess!

I'll try to post pictures soon.
