House

So, in case you weren't aware, I bought a house. Mom came down and helped me during my big freak out. I couldn't have done it without her. It was pretty stressful, but I am all moved in now and loving it and oh boy, do I have plans.

The house was built in 1906 and is in a really cool historic neighborhood. It is right across the street from an 80 acre park. I will blog pictures of that later. It has a huge pond and a little amusement park (not the house, the park).

These are the branches of the huge maple tree in my front yard. Sometimes I like to go and hug it. I am from Washington you know.

And of course being from Washington I had to plan a tree of my own. This is a peach tree. It was fun to dig the hole and plant it. I felt like I was leaving a legacy of sorts.

My first project was to build a raised bed and plant a garden. The bed contains makings for salsa and the pots contain herbs. I was quite proud of myself on this one.

This is the plant that mom gave me as a housewarming gift. It is a hydrangea and I found a perfect place for it in front of the house. I can not wait until it blooms.

My back porch.

Bedroom. I will add more pictures of the inside later. I will probably do before/after pictures as I make improvements.
